Peter Obi has said closed-door meeting with former President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday was frank and thoughtful.
He said the discussions were anchored on the urgent need to reposition Nigeria on the path of unity, security, stability, productivity, and inclusive governance.
The former Anambra governor, who led a delegation of notable South-East leaders to Jonathan’s residence, said the consultation was part of his ongoing engagements with Nigerian leaders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“Our discussions were frank, thoughtful, and anchored on the urgent need to reposition Nigeria on the path of unity, security, stability, productivity, and inclusive governance.
“At a time when our nation continues to grapple with economic hardship, rising insecurity, and deepening social divisions, it has become imperative that leaders across regions come together to reflect, consult, and act in the overall interest of the Nigerian people,” Obi said in a post on X.
He argued that the leadership Nigeria needed must be driven not by personal ambition, but by competence, character, capacity, and compassion.
“Nigeria today requires leadership that is guided not by personal ambition, but by competence, character, capacity, and compassion. Governance is not about sharing what is left, but about creating what is needed,” he said.
