Dear Mr. Peter Obi,
Hello sir. I am writing this as someone who voted for APC in the last election and still supports the party because of the steps they’ve taken to improve Nigeria. I’m not writing to fight you, but to ask honest questions. I care about leadership that is based on facts, results, and real work.

You are known for being careful with money, knowing the economy, and speaking truth to power. Many young people believed in your message during and after the 2023 elections. But like you once said, “truth can only be measured by results.” With the 2027 elections coming closer, it’s fair to compare what you said you would do with what President Tinubu’s government is already doing.

You often talk about changing Nigeria from a country that consumes to one that produces. But President Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, which previous governments avoided. That move made more money available to the government, and now many states can pay their workers and clear their debts.

His government is also supporting farming, local factories, and the use of gas-powered vehicles to reduce fuel costs. So I ask, how exactly will you make Nigeria produce more than this government is already trying to do? What kinds of products will you focus on for export, and how long will it take? You’ve said you can turn things around in two years—so can you show Nigerians your plan with full costs and timelines?

You also talk a lot about turning Nigeria into a place where human talent is well used, especially young people. But President Tinubu has already set up a Ministry of Digital Economy and Youth Innovation. He launched a program to train three million young Nigerians in tech skills.

What will you do that goes beyond these programs? Will you stop what is already happening, or will you improve it? And how many jobs can you create each year—and where will the money come from?

You often speak in support of state police. But this APC government has already started giving more powers to state governments. The law has been changed to allow this, including in areas like electricity and possibly security. If you support state police, can you show Nigerians how you will fund and manage them? How will you stop them from becoming tribal armies or political tools?

You say education can help reduce poverty. Tinubu’s government has improved school feeding and increased money for basic education. If you become president, will you offer something new or just say similar things? What fresh ideas do you have to help the over 10 million Nigerian children who are out of school? And how will you work with state governments that belong to other political parties?

You once promised that Nigeria would generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity. But this government is already pushing big projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and allowing states like Ekiti and Lagos to set up their own electricity grids. Producing 20,000 megawatts would cost about $20 billion. If you don’t want to borrow money, how do you plan to fund, build, and maintain that much electricity in four years?

You’ve spoken about connecting with Nigerians abroad and working with them. But President Tinubu is already rebuilding Nigeria’s position in the world. He has attended meetings with world leaders at BRICS, G20, and other international events. He’s also tried to fix Nigeria’s currency and protect our interests in West Africa. Will you continue this approach or start something new? What exactly will you do differently?

You’ve been in different political parties: APGA, PDP, LP, and now possibly ADC. On the other hand, Tinubu has stayed loyal to his political group for over 30 years, from AD to APC. He built a strong national party and grew leaders within it. So I ask, will you remain in the Labour Party, or will you leave again? Do you have a strong, nationwide political team—or are you just relying on social media and older politicians who want to stay relevant?

You’re seen as a clean politician, but your name was linked to the Pandora Papers, and many still ask about the N250 million found in a car. Tinubu has started reforms in how money is collected and spent. He’s also made the judiciary more independent. If you become president, will you act differently or just say things in a different way? Will you declare all your assets openly, including any hidden ones? Will you allow the EFCC to do its job, even if it means arresting your allies?

In the end, I believe we both agree that Nigeria needs to work. But we need more than just dreams—we need action. Your speeches are powerful, but they often sound like they come from the classroom, not the real world of Nigerian politics. President Tinubu’s government is not perfect, but at least we can see what they are doing, and we can measure their results.

Nigerians are tired of hearing what someone will do—they want to see how it will be done and whether it is better than what we already have. If you are serious about leading this country, please respond to this letter with full policy details, cost estimates, and timelines.

As we say in APC: Renewed Hope is not just a slogan; it’s a work in progress.

Respectfully,
