Professor Chris Nwaokobia, a prominent political activist and former presidential candidate, has clarified his political alignment ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles. He emphasized his determination to prioritize administrative performance, national integration, and measurable competence over conventional partisan loyalty across the country.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Mic On Podcast on Saturday, June 20, 2026, when asked if there is a possibility he could work for the current administration, he stated, “I won’t work for Atiku Abubakar, but as for working for Tinubu, I don’t know yet.”
Nwaokobia explained that his current political posture depends entirely on a rigorous evaluation of presidential manifestos rather than blind alignment with legacy political figures. He noted that the country needs an intensive structural audit of its leadership choices to navigate ongoing macroeconomic challenges.
The legal practitioner pointed out that his absolute refusal to collaborate with certain opposition figures stems from their inability to mentor the next generation. He argued that true leadership must prioritize sustainable mentorship and remain active around the clock to meet modern administrative demands.
He urged the younger generation to stay focused on institutional reforms rather than emotional rhetoric or ethnocentric sentiments during political cycles. Nwaokobia insisted that governance must become increasingly responsive to the basic security and socioeconomic welfare of ordinary citizens nationwide.
In his concluding remarks, Nwaokobia maintained that his final decision would be guided strictly by an independent evaluation of national interest. He reiterated that his primary commitment remains helping the public make logical decisions that secure the developmental future of the entire nation.
