**Calls for a New Era of Leadership in Nigeria
The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 election, Peter Obi has congratulated Nigerian-born Kemi Badenoch on her recent election as leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party.
Obi described Badenoch’s rise as an inspiring example of the immense potential within Nigeria’s youth, which he says should serve as a model for leadership transformation in Nigeria.
In a statement shared on his X handle, Obi noted that Badenoch’s success underscores the impact of diverse leadership that values competence, inclusivity, and integrity.
“Her achievement is a testament to what can be accomplished when these values are prioritized,” Obi wrote, adding that it contrasts with Nigeria’s current landscape, where younger, qualified leaders are often sidelined for older figures.
Obi urged Nigerians to see Badenoch’s ascent as a call for change in Nigeria’s leadership structure.
“It’s time to set aside outdated practices like tribalism, religious bias, and the ‘my turn’ mindset,” he emphasized, advocating instead for a shift toward leaders who bring fresh perspectives and forward-thinking ideas.
Ending his message on an optimistic note, Obi expressed hope that Nigeria can embrace a new generation of leaders dedicated to positive change.
“Congratulations, Kemi Badenoch. A new Nigeria is indeed possible!” he concluded.
