Peter Obi is the Best
I have read those who do not know the qualities required of transformative leadership try to put Peter Obi down on the basis of degree type. This people do not know that real education starts after university. The genius of great political leaders is what they learn outside formal schooling.
Peter Obi is very insightful, better than many first class people i know. A Nigerian First Class in economics does not know much about running an economy unless he has read more books on economic development, policy and history after degree. I do not have a formal economics degree but i am knowledgeable on economic policy because i have read a lot of economic policy books. In fact, some of economists friends claim i have a bigger library of economics than all Nigerian departments of economics
I have interacted with professors and practical men and women of business. Oftentimes i find the practical men and women of business more informed about public policy than professors of one thing or the other.
I have a doctorate degree from a famous school. But I have read more books after my doctorate. I am better informed not because of my doctorate degree but because of consistent efforts to learn and learn.
Peter Obi is a student of leadership and governance. He knows more about economic and social transformation than many first class and doctorate degree graduates because he reads and listens to those who know.
I know this because reading and learning are my lifelong commitments, and I have listened to Peter and many PhDs and he comes out far more informed than them.
Today, Peter Obi has better knowledge of Nigeria’s economic and social crises and commitment to transforming the Nigerian condition than many first class and doctorate graduates.
Peter Obi is the best.
