Ozigbo Says Tinubu, Obi, Kwankwaso Are Part of Nigeria’s Problems, Urges Youth Action
Former Anambra State governorship candidate and founder of the Valiant Movement, Valentine Ozigbo, told Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday that there is little difference between Nigeria’s leading political figures—President Bola Tinubu, Labour Party’s Peter Obi and former Kano governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso—and that they are all part of the country’s current problems. Speaking on June 16, 2026, Ozigbo said wrongdoing cuts across party lines and lamented a widespread lack of morality in Nigerian politics, urging young Nigerians to stop outsourcing their destiny to older leaders who have contributed to the nation’s challenges. He argued that the younger generation must take a more active role in shaping Nigeria’s future, as they will ultimately be responsible for rebuilding the country, and said he has lost confidence in the older generation’s ability to deliver the transformation needed. Ozigbo’s remarks reflect growing disillusionment among youths with established politicians regardless of affiliation and highlight a call for a generational shift in political engagement. Readers should consider whether they are placing hope solely on established figures, reflect on how they can participate in civic or political processes, and evaluate candidates based on competence and integrity rather than party loyalty alone.
