LAGOS MAY 28TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Peter Obi, the front-runner for the 2027 presidential election in Nigeria, explicitly identified politicians as the Goliath obstructing progress. He emphasised that Nigeria needs a David to rescue the nation.
At a Youth Conference in Abuja, organised by Rev Fr John Chinenye Oluoma of the Abuja Archdiocese, Obi clearly stated that Nigeria must raise a David capable of defeating the Goliath within its polity to forge ahead.
“Today, at the David and Goliath conference in Abuja, aimed at empowering Nigerian youths to confront their challenges, I made it clear that the Goliaths in Nigeria’s political landscape are the politicians who divert public funds for personal gain. I told the youths that these politicians are the primary Goliaths because they refuse to prioritise the country’s interests.
All critical sectors—security, power, healthcare, and education—are suffering because of the leaders’ corrupt tendencies.
The youth delegates at the conference posed tough questions about overcoming the Goliath in their lives as Nigerians.
From their questions, I identified the key areas where Nigeria is failing: security, education, health, and unemployment.
I challenged the youth to be realistic in their pursuits—live within their means and reject artificial lifestyles—as a way to conquer the Goliath in their lives.
