Kemi Badenoch: It Is Time To Move Past Tribalism, ‘My Turn’ Syndrome – Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), has responded to Kemi Badenoch’s rise as the leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom.
He encouraged Nigerians to view this development as an opportunity for transformation in the country’s leadership.
Obi emphasized the need to move beyond outdated practices of tribalism, religious discrimination, and the “my turn” mentality.
The former governor of Anambra stressed the importance of creating an environment that prioritizes competence, capability, integrity, innovative ideas, and progressive leadership.
Speaking via his X account, he wrote, “The gratifying news of the election of a Nigerian-born @KemiBadenoch as the leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom cannot come at a better time than now that events in the country are making Nigerians doubt their potential.
“Badenoch’s election is a powerful testament to the global potential of Nigerian and African youth.
“Her success showcases the strength of diversity and underscores the possibilities achievable when competence, capacity, integrity, and inclusivity are prioritized.
“This accomplishment is both inspiring and a wake-up call, highlighting the leadership paradox in Nigeria, where younger leaders with proven competence, capacity, and integrity often remain sidelined in favor of older figures who lack the same drive and qualities that the younger ones bring to the table.
“As we celebrate Kemi’s achievement, let us use it as a catalyst for change within our leadership landscape.
“It is time to move past outdated traditions of tribalism, religious bias, and the “my turn” syndrome and foster an environment that values competence, capacity, integrity, fresh perspectives, and forward-thinking leadership.
“Embracing a new generation of leaders can pave the way for a better future for Nigeria and Africa. Congratulations, Kemi Badenoch. A new Nigeria is indeed possible!”
