“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people suffer.” — Proverbs 29:2
These are difficult times for many Nigerians.
Every day, we hear reports of people being killed, kidnapped, displaced, and impoverished by both state and non-state actors.
Families are losing loved ones, communities are living in fear, and many ordinary citizens are struggling to survive.
At a time like this, one can not help but ask: Where is the government that is supposed to protect the lives and welfare of its citizens?
Unfortunately, their concern is not about human lives, but politics and politics, how to grab it, snash it, and run with it come 2027 election.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I will not support any system that puts political interests above the lives, security, dignity, and welfare of the people.
My position and your position should not be based on tribe, religion, or political party. It should be based on what is right: truth, fairness, equity, justice, accountability, and respect for human life.
We must learn to hold every government and every political leader accountable regardless of the party, tribe, religion, or individual we support.
Ultimately, Nigeria belongs to all of us.
Let us stand on the side of truth and justice, even when doing so is uncomfortable.
History will judge everyone by the choices you make, and your children and generations, yet unborn, will live with the consequences of those choices.
May we have the courage to choose principle over party, justice over sentiment, and humanity over political interest.
