If I speak my mind, you people will say I’m the problem in Nigeria. Anyway…
Mr. Peter Obi, if you want to win the 2027 election, there’s only one trick that has lasted throughout the history of politics: the people’s choice.
I advise you to focus on promising to repeal the current tax laws. As an economist, you know that Nigeria can function better without the Personal Income Tax (PIT). This current administration keeps borrowing money, yet nothing tangible has been done.
I’d advise you to centre your campaign on scrapping the new tax reforms—Nigerians are clearly unhappy about them. Promise to implement laws that hold everyone accountable for their actions and restructure or close the EFCC. Make the Nigerian Police the single law enforcement body; all other agencies like Road Safety and VIO should be brought under the Nigerian Police, wearing the same uniform. This would reduce expenses and make it easier to track all allocations, because these multiple forces are one of the main reasons why Nigeria’s allocations cannot be properly tracked.
