I’ve Learned To Avoid Criticizing Or Getting Annoyed With Nigerians – Peter Obi

Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has learnt to stop criticizing or getting annoyed at Nigerians, especially Nigerian businesses.

Naija News reports that the former Governor of Anambra State made this known on X while responding to a Nigerian complaining about a 9-hour flight delay by Air Peace.

The X user with the handle Olajumoke Alawode~James wrote, “I was waiting to land in Lagos before I cuss Air Peace for this 9 hour delay. But, @PeterObi is on my flight. Let me respect our leader.”

In response, Peter Obi apologised on behalf of Air Peace, stating that one does not blame business owners in Nigeria considering the harsh and challenging environment they have to navigate.

He noted that the country’s situation demands that Nigerians always apply caution as they try to understand each other’s circumstances.

He said, “Thank you, my dear @oluwaloninyo. Let me sincerely apologize on their behalf. These days, I have learned to avoid criticizing or getting easily annoyed with Nigerians and, in particular, Nigerian businesses, given the harsh and difficult environment they have to navigate. The situation in our country demands that we always apply caution as we try to understand each other’s circumstances and factor them into our judgment of them. This should act as a reminder that many are doing their best despite the challenging circumstances and that patience and understanding can go a long way.”
