There were devastating floods in Borno, which have resulted in the deaths of many Nigerians and resulted in damage to property worth hundreds of billions. Yet, Peter Obi has not said anything. And even sadder still, he was in Edo State yesterday, singing and dancing amid this tragedy.
If this flood had happened in Igboland, would Peter Obi be laughing and dancing yesterday in Benin? Think about it. Would he not have released a statement, donated money, and even shed tears?
Please fact-check me: When there was flooding in Anambra on October 21, 2022, Peter Obi was there the next day, almost crying and calling on the government to do something. On a scale, the current Borno flood is more than five times worse than the Anambra flood of 2022. But this time around, Obi is smiling, not crying.
But because it is Borno, he does not care. After all, he did promise to wage a "religious war" on the Muslim Ummah, and Borno is one of the capitals of Islam in Nigeria. No wonder Obi was deliriously happy yesterday. He probably felt the flood was helping him prosecute his war.
Borno, Arewa, is this the type of leader you want in 2027? A leader who would be singing and dancing when you are dying and sorrowing? Someone who will be celebrating while you are mourning?
We do not need a president who cries when Ndi'Igbo experiences disaster and laughs when Arewa faces tragedy.
