Friday, May 29, 2026 -Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, has described politicians as “Goliath,” urging Nigerians to find a “David” to bring solutions to their problems.
The front-runner for the 2027 presidential election in
Nigeria stated that politicians are obstructing the nation’s progress.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party
emphasised that Nigeria needs a “David” to rescue the nation.
At a youth conference in Abuja organised by Rev. Fr. John
Chinenye Oluoma of the Abuja Archdiocese, Obi stated that Nigeria must raise a
“David” capable of defeating the “Goliath” within its polity for the country to
move forward.
He said, “Today, at the David and Goliath Conference in
Abuja, aimed at empowering Nigerian youths to confront their challenges, I made
it clear that the Goliaths in Nigeria’s political landscape are the politicians
who divert public funds for personal gain.
“I told the youths that these politicians are the primary
Goliaths because they refuse to prioritise the country’s interests.”
Obi noted that all critical sectors — security, power,
healthcare, and education — are suffering because of the leaders’ corrupt
tendencies.
The youth delegates at the conference posed tough questions
about overcoming the “Goliath” in their lives as Nigerians.
Obi said that from their questions, he identified the key
areas where Nigeria is failing: security, education, health, and unemployment.
He challenged the youths to be realistic in their pursuits,
live within their means, and reject artificial lifestyles as a way to conquer
the “Goliath” in their lives.
