Actress-cum-politician, Tonto Dikeh has expressed disappointment over the quality of boreholes donated to some communities in Northern Nigeria by the former Labour party Presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Peter Obi, during the Ramadan fast, visited some Northern communities, broke fast with them and donated some basic amenities they lacked.
However, in some communities where the residents needed water, the quality of boreholes has been a subject of debate as some Nigerians argue that they were shabbily done and shouldn’t have been commissioned by a Presidential candidate of Obi’s status.
Expressing disappointment via a post on her Instagram account, Tonto said she is genuinely dissatisfied with Obi’s actions and in disbelief. She wrote: “His excellency sir with all due respect #peterobigregory am deeply disappointed by this.
“The idea that Nigeria was almost entrusted to you, sir, is disheartening. This isn’t trolling; I’m genuinely dissatisfied with your actions. I’m in disbelief. Were you truly committed to taking this country to the next level?
“This situation highlights the need for all of us to join hands with Mr President #officialasiwajubat and actively contribute to the nation’s progress. It’s not a task for one person alone; it requires the dedication of all.
“YOUR EXECLLENCY, Mr. Obi, I am profoundly let down. Despite that, you remain one of my favorite politicians. However, I believe in speaking the truth directly because I love you, but I love Nigeria even more.
“To Mr. Peter Obi supporters: If you fail to acknowledge any issue with this image, then you are part of the problems we face. He’s not just Mr. Obi; he was almost the President of this country and would have served for eight years.
While some may jest about sentiments, as a Nigerian, I owe my country a renewed hope through my active and intentional support of the government. Even if he had won, I would have still worked for him but also highlighted his shortcomings. Sentiments won’t propel this country forward; actions will,” she stated.
