Umuahia – With the recent formation of a new leadership team within the Labour Party, the spotlight is now on Peter Obi to mobilize his working group to address the pressing issues facing the nation. Prominent economist and political commentator, Professor Pat Utomi, has called on Obi to act decisively, offering viable alternatives to the current system that many believe neglects the needs of the people.
In a post on X.com, Utomi highlighted the severe challenges plaguing the nation, including fuel shortages, the potential for higher taxes, widespread food insecurity, and the rapid deterioration of infrastructure. He contrasted these burdens with the actions of the powerful, who continue to indulge in luxury—purchasing additional presidential jets, extravagant limousines, and lavish mansions—despite the suffering of the populace.
Utomi emphasized the moral implications of the current state of affairs, urging Obi to address these issues with vigour. He stressed that failing to do so would not only exacerbate the hardships faced by ordinary citizens but also deepen the existing divide between the powerful and the people.
The message is clear: Peter Obi’s administration must prioritize the needs of the nation and work towards creating a more equitable and just society.
