In a recent statement, Adichie praised Obi for his unique ability to create hope and enthusiasm among the Nigerian people, and emphasized the importance of a leader’s character and ability to listen, serve, and have a cohesive sense of what Nigeria should be.

Adichie’s endorsement of Obi comes at a critical time for Nigeria, as the country prepares for its upcoming presidential elections. With so much at stake, many Nigerians are looking for a leader who can inspire and guide the country to a brighter future. According to Adichie, Obi is that leader.

One of the key factors that Adichie highlights in her endorsement of Obi is his ability to create hope and enthusiasm among the Nigerian people.

In her statement, she notes that Obi has changed the political landscape in Nigeria, inspiring an organic grassroots movement of support from people all over the country. This kind of enthusiasm, she suggests, is essential for a leader to be effective in governing a nation.

But enthusiasm alone is not enough. Adichie also emphasizes the importance of a leader’s character, and notes that Obi possesses many of the qualities that are essential for effective leadership. She praises Obi for his willingness to listen to others, for his humility, and for his genuine desire to serve the people of Nigeria. She also notes that Obi has a cohesive sense of what Nigeria should be, and that he is comfortable going to all parts of the country.

Ultimately, Adichie’s endorsement of Obi is a powerful call to action for Nigerians. She urges voters to look beyond the usual considerations of ethnicity and geography, and to instead focus on a leader’s character and ability to lead effectively.

With the upcoming elections fast approaching, Adichie’s words serve as a timely reminder of the importance of wise voting and of the impact that a good leader can have on a nation.

Chimamanda Ngozi Statement on Peter Obi Endorsement:

  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “It’s because I think that he will meet the very good president. I’m an evil woman, and I am proud of him in the way that one is proud of a person who has achieved something and who also happens to be from one’s place. But there are also many other women who I admire or respect or I am proud of, but I would never vote for them for president because I don’t think they would make good presidents. So, the basis of my support for Peter Obi is because I think that he will make a very good president. Do you think?”
  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “I think that it’s unfortunate that we often turn our opponents into caricatures, and I don’t think that’s necessary. What’s important to think about is not how can we demonize the opponent, but rather who is the best. Peter Obi is by far the best.”
  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “One thing that is so significant is how he has completely changed the political landscape in Nigeria. We’ve never had this kind of organic grassroots enthusiasm from people all over the country. And most of all, we’ve never had the sense of hope. I’ve always believed that there’s nothing more essential to the human spirit than hope. People might say cynically that hope doesn’t win elections, but actually, it does because hope propels people. Hope gets people out to vote, hope gets people to believe in the government, hope gets people to feel carried along by their leaders.”
  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “I think it’s wonderful to have manifestos, but the reality of leadership is that when you get in there, sometimes your manifestos and your ideas don’t quite align with the reality of what you find. While I think it’s good to think of the ideas that potential leaders have, I think it’s even more important to think about the sort of person they are because increasingly, I think that leadership is really about character.”
  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “I say that because it’s your character that determines how you go about solving a problem. The questions I think are important to ask are: Is this person the person who listens? Because listening is essential to leadership. Does this person have an arrogant attitude to leadership, or does this person think of leadership as service? Does this person seem to know what life is like for ordinary people? Does this person talk to ordinary people? Does this person seem sincere? Is this person intellectually curious? Are they willing to learn? Does this person have that mark of wisdom, and by that, I mean the ability to say ‘I don’t know’ and ‘I am sorry’ – essential marks of wisdom? Does this person have a cohesive sense of what Nigeria should be? Is this person comfortable going to all parts of Nigeria? Is this person desperate to be president, or does this person want to be president out of a sense of love as well? Really, these are the things I think about when I think about PWP, and it’s the reason that I support him.”
  • Chimamanda Ngozi: “For me personally, where the president comes from has just never been that important. What I want is a president who will lead Nigeria well. Peter Obi is unique and singular in his ability to create this kind of resounding hope. It’s never before happened in the history of this country. I think it is significant. I think it means something, and I think we need to vote wisely.”
