Peter Obi, The former Labour Party presidential candidate, has promised Nigerians a compassionate leader if elected in the general election in 2027. Obi also criticized the government of President Bola Tinubu for lacking compassion, claiming that the president has little concern for the people.
The former governor of Anambra State stated in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday that Nigerians require a leader who truly cares about their well-being. He also described President Tinubu's decision to spend Christmas in Lagos in December 2024 rather than Ibadan, where a stampede at a Christmas party killed several children.
Obi condemned the president over the attack in Benue State, saying he went to Benue but failed to reach Yelwata where the attack happened.
He said: “People want to get up and see a president that cares, a president that shows compassion.
“Today we have a country without compassion, leadership without compassion does not exist, it is a minus, it is not good for a country.
There is no compassion, people lost their children that will lead this country in the future he went for Christmas holiday.”
