Peter Obi Slams National Honours Culture, Says Nigeria Should Celebrate Productivity, Not Politics
Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called for a bold reform in Nigeria’s national honours system, urging the government to shift recognition from politicians to productive citizens and entrepreneurs.
Speaking at the unveiling of The Chronicles of a Legend, a biography of business mogul Gabriel Igbinedion, Obi said prestigious honours like GCFR and GCON should be reserved for individuals driving employment, innovation, and development, not political figures.
> "We celebrate the wrong people. National honours should go to entrepreneurs like Chief Igbinedion who have created thousands of jobs, built institutions, and contributed to national growth," Obi stated.
Citing Igbinedion's achievements in aviation, education, and cultural heritage, Obi emphasized that Nigeria must start rewarding those building the nation—not just those in power.
His remarks follow rising public debate over the lavish rewards given to sports stars, while key sectors like education, health, and security remain underappreciated.
