In a statement that’s shaking up Nigeria’s political landscape, renowned billionaire and Chairman of Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, has thrown his weight behind former Anambra State governor Peter Obi, praising his integrity and fiscal discipline.

Speaking boldly, Maduka declared that comparing Obi to the current President Bola Tinubu is like “comparing light to darkness,” highlighting what he described as the vast moral and leadership gap between the two men.
"Nigeria needs leaders who truly understand sacrifice, not those who soar above our suffering," Maduka said, criticizing the reported move to acquire a luxurious presidential jet amid ongoing economic hardship and subsidy cuts.
The respected businessman emphasized that Obi, known for his frugality and people-first approach, would never misuse public funds on personal comfort while millions of Nigerians grapple with poverty, inflation, and fuel price hikes.
"Peter Obi represents the leadership Nigeria desperately needs—one that cuts down excesses and invests in people, not prestige," Maduka stated, calling on citizens to demand more from those in power.
His remarks have sparked widespread debate across political and civic spaces, with many Nigerians applauding his courage to speak truth to power. Others are speculating whether this signals a growing political realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Could Cosmas Maduka’s bold stand ignite a larger national conversation about the kind of leadership Nigeria truly deserves?
One thing is certain: the battle lines for Nigeria’s future are being drawn—not just in ballot boxes, but in bold voices rising for accountability.
