During an interactive session with Seun Okinbaloye on the popular platform, Mic On The Podcast, Dr. Showunmi emphasized that while Atiku and Obi might have approached governance with different styles and strategies, the challenges they would have faced would be no less daunting. He noted that the complexities of Nigeria’s economic and political landscape are such that no single leader can resolve them without encountering significant hurdles.
Dr. Showunmi remarked, “If Atiku and Peter Obi had become President, they would have been confronting the same difficulties. They may come in with different styles and approaches, but they will still have their own tilting challenges because Nigeria was not made poor or rich overnight.”
