Nigerian youths can achieve greatness if leaders make painful sacrifices to support them: Peter Obi
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has hailed the potential of Nigerian youths while wishing Nigerian leaders could make painful sacrifices to help them acheive greatness.
Mr Obi took to his Twitter page to share this while congratulating two Nigerian students for their academic exploits in Russian universities.
“I congratulate the duo of Okoro Benjamin Nzutechukwu and Solomon Ekene Okeke, both Nigerians who recently made the nation proud with their academic exploits in Russian Universities.
“According to reports, Mr Nzutechukwu graduated with a First Class Honours in Pharmacy from Voronezh University, Russia while Mr Okeke emerged as the Best Graduating Student 2023, from RUDN University, Moscow, Russia.
“While I celebrate their academic feats, I also celebrate the same potential for greatness existing in every Nigerian youth, waiting for the right investments in human development. This can be achieved if our leaders will be willing to go through discomfort and make much-needed painful sacrifices for the good of the nation,” Mr Obi said.
Mr Obi urged the two Nigerian students to remain good ambassadors of the country while wishing them well.
“I wish Benjamin and Solomon the best in their endeavours and urge them to remain good ambassadors of our nation and to keep our flag flying higher,” Mr Obi added.
