Key points:
- Obi sends warm wishes to Oluremi Tinubu on her birthday. He then reacts to her new donation plea.
- He says kind gifts should not fund a key library. He calls the gap a loud mark on the nation.
- He lists waste on jets, yachts, trips, and mansions. He urges leaders to fund books, schools, and minds.
Peter Obi set a sharp tone on X today. He wished Senator Oluremi Tinubu a happy birthday. He prayed for long life, good health, and joy. He then turned to a hard truth.
Oluremi Tinubu asked friends to fund the National Library in Abuja. She asked them to skip cakes and adverts this year. Obi praised the heart behind the call. However, he said the request still shames the country.
Obi says charity should not build a national library
Obi wrote that kind gifts should help, not replace, the state. He recalled his time as Anambra Governor. He urged fans then to buy school PCs and blocks. He said that move did not remove the state’s duty.
He added more blunt words on the present time. He said leaders still find cash for jets and yachts. He said they also fund trips, big homes, and fun toys. Yet the same state now seeks birthday gifts for a library.
Obi asked what kind of land begs for books. He called a library the “temple of knowledge” for minds. He said the Abuja site still sits bare and sad. He said real nations treat libraries like sacred ground.
He wrote that we treat libraries like last thoughts instead. He said we turn them to bowls for alms or gifts. He then praised Oluremi Tinubu’s clear line on school. “Education gives the best legacy,” he agreed.
Still, he said leaders pick show over class and books. He called that mix “shocking and tragic” for our youth. He said minds lift a land more than shiny jets. He said bright minds grow in class and in libraries.
Obi closed with a hard line from his post. “Until we build minds, we remain finished,” he warned. He urged leaders to pick books, labs, and class first. He asked fans to push for the Abuja library now.
