Solomon Buchi: Your Tribe Will Not Shield You From the Consequences of Bad Leadership

Solomon Buchi has criticised ethnic-based voting, saying Nigerians should not support a candidate solely because they share the same tribe. Reacting to a man who said he would vote for a presidential candidate because they are both Yoruba, despite concerns about the candidate's performance, Buchi argued that poor leadership affects every ethnic group. He said sharing a tribe with a politician offers no protection from bad policies or hardship. He described tribalism as a major challenge in Nigerian politics and accused politicians of using ethnic sentiments to divide citizens while maintaining relationships across ethnic lines. He urged voters to prioritise competence, values, national unity, integration and infrastructure.
