Do not forget: it takes only a few people who believe to cause real change in any society
Francis Onyema is an advocate of rational governmental policies as a mechanism for social change – a visionary leader driven not by political ambition, but by a deep and unwavering commitment to sustainable national development.
Francis Onyema’s unrelenting criticism of Nigeria’s political dysfunction and his passionate advocacy for people-centered governance have earned him a growing number of followers across the nation. He speaks for ordinary Nigerians and challenges a system that has too often been captured by moneybags and power brokers.
A deep thinker and solution-driven reformist, Francis Onyema believes that elections should be a contest of ideas, not a game of ethnicity, religion, or wealth. He consistently calls for national reorientation, emphasizing that true change begins with changing minds before changing governments.
In his speeches and writings, he combines sharp political insight with genuine empathy, offering not just critique, but conviction; not just resistance, but reform. He champions a politics of substance, where leadership is earned through vision and power is used to serve the greater good.
As a candidate for the 2027 presidential elections, Francis Onyema brings more than hope. He brings a movement of ideas, a network of awakened citizens, and a sincere desire to make Nigeria work for everyone.
I strongly believe that the destiny of our nation lies in the hands of ordinary Nigerians – those driven by a genuine passion to participate in governance and contest for political offices based on the strength of their ideas to address the challenges facing their immediate communities.
However, given the intricacies of our political culture, especially where poverty has been weaponized, it often seems unattainable for ordinary Nigerians to truly participate in governance or vie for public office at any level.
I believe that, more than anything else, the poverty of thought and lack of enlightenment among Nigerians have been deliberately weaponized by the ruling class to advance their selfish interests. It is a sad reality that has led to all forms of manipulation, including buying their way into power. We must be clear: power should not be awarded to the highest bidder, but to the boldest thinker.
To entrench this ideal as our political culture, we must educate ourselves to understand that elections are a contest of ideas. They must be won based on the most convincing plans to address our collective concerns, not based on money, age, religion, or ethnic sentiment.
Therefore, our task of nation-building must begin with the reorientation of Nigerians to make more informed decisions at the polls. The truth is, no single presidency can single-handedly reverse the decline and disorder that afflict Nigeria unless it sparks a national reorientation and a reformation of character.
While my electioneering will inspire new ideas and a relentless commitment to uncovering the truth and standing by it, we will also be committed to educating Nigerians on the intricacies of leadership, politics, and development. This is not a task I can achieve alone. It requires your partnership and belief in a better Nigeria.
Rescuing our great nation from the claws of retrogression is not the burden of one man. It is a collective responsibility, and as history has shown, it takes only a few people who believe to cause real change in any society.
I am counting on your support on this journey.
-Francis Onyema, 2027 Presidential Aspirant
I am not here to outspend anyone. I am here to outthink them, for the sake of the people. True leadership demands thoughtfulness and vision.
-Francis Onyema
The urgent challenges of our contemporary world, marked by rising insecurity, hunger, disease, climate change, and natural disasters, cannot be solved by politicians who simply buy their way into power. What we need are critical thinkers, bold ideas, and practical, people-driven solutions.
My background as a Political Scientist has prepared me for the task ahead. I understand the complex challenges of leadership and development in Third World nations like ours, especially in a global system where the progress of one nation often comes at the expense of another. The development of some countries has long relied, and continues to rely, on the underdevelopment of others.
I have always maintained that Nigeria’s problem is not just a failure of leadership, but a failure to understand our exploitative relationship with the rest of the world. It becomes a leadership crisis only when those in power either do not understand this imbalance or choose to ignore it for selfish gain.
As an ordinary citizen, I have made concerted efforts to propose policies to the National Assembly aimed at improving the well-being of Nigerians and strengthening our national security and economic independence.
One such bill focused on auditing health infrastructure, personnel, and records to ensure strict compliance with standards and to strategically improve the health sector.
Another proposal, aimed at bolstering our border security, was outrightly rejected by a Senator of the 9th Assembly for being “too capital-intensive.” But my question remains: Is there a price too high to pay for the security of lives and property in Nigeria?
Ironically, the administration of President Bola Tinubu has embarked on a N15 trillion coastal highway project in a country still plagued by widespread insecurity.
When the proposed Amotekun Bill was being debated, I was consulted by a Senator from South West Nigeria on whether or not to support it. I was clear and direct; security outfits like Amotekun would never effectively address the issues of insecurity, even in the regions where they are established.
I warned that the creation of Amotekun could inspire other regional security formations that may not emerge through proper legislative processes and potentially deepen regional mistrust and mutual suspicion.
I also made it clear that the most viable solution to the challenge of insecurity across the federation was to pursue a deliberate policy of de-escalation of arms. Amotekun, on the contrary, places weapons in the hands of individuals who may not be professionally trained or adequately disciplined to bear arms. In a fragile state like ours, this approach risks compounding the same problem it seeks to solve.
In the end, the Senator chose to go against my advice and supported the Bill. That moment confirmed what I had feared: that the current ruling elites are not genuinely committed to making decisions or implementing policies that serve the well-being of ordinary Nigerians.
These experiences, as well as my deep understanding of the politics of development and underdevelopment, inspired me to run for president in 2027.
I strongly believe that the destiny of our nation lies in the hands of ordinary people, especially those driven by a genuine passion to participate in governance and contest for political offices based on the strength of their ideas to address the challenges facing their immediate communities.
Hence, I am not only running for president but fully prepared to lead a national reorientation to inspire Nigerians to elect leaders based on convincing plans to address our collective concerns, rather than empty rhetoric or political showmanship.
The common belief is that the ruling elite has weaponized poverty to serve their selfish interests. While this is true, I strongly believe that, more than anything else, the poverty of thought and the lack of reorientation have been deliberately exploited.
Our flawed electoral process is one of the major challenges we face as a nation. The ruling elite continues to manipulate uninformed Nigerians to perpetuate themselves in power for selfish gain. An enlightened citizenry would change this narrative and inspire a new generation of leaders who truly understand the essence of governance. It is my modest vision to make Nigeria work for everyone.
I am in this race not to outspend anyone, but to outthink them. Not to rule, but to serve. Not to follow the path of least resistance, but to challenge the status quo and offer real solutions to real problems.

POLICY INSIGHTS
The Nigerian economy has been shaped too much by Western ideas about how markets should work – ideas that often benefit only a few organizations and wealthy nations. Instead of building an economy that produces locally and creates opportunities for ordinary Nigerians, we have ended up with one where just a few big players control everything (monopolies), and most people are encouraged to buy and consume, not create or build.
First, our economic policies will be driven by nationalistic ideologies that serve the interests of every Nigerian.
We will inspire healthy competition across key economic sectors, including the oil and gas downstream sector. We will build a viable steel industry and promote the production of globally competitive goods and services. Our overall objective is to improve the productive skill set of our people and the tools with which we work.
The emergence of new crimes such as banditry, insurgency, and kidnapping has exacerbated security challenges across our nation. Worse still, arms and ammunition are predominantly in the wrong hands, making internal security a more daunting challenge for our security agents.
Our objective in dealing with these waves of crime is to ensure that the government remains the only institution with the monopoly of the use of force, and that our approach to security is proactive, not always reactive.
To achieve this, we will redefine our border security operations to guarantee that no criminal elements will be willing to risk their destruction by violating our borders.
We will reform the police force to ensure it can effectively keep the peace internally and protect lives and property, while pursuing legislative reforms to enhance its capabilities.
Our educational institutions have been plagued by inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, unqualified teachers, and intermittent industrial actions. Beyond these setbacks lies the deeper issue of moral decay that has become prevalent in our educational system. Student harassment by teachers, examination malpractices, and cultism are among the vices crippling our schools, resulting in highly unmotivating learning environments.
The core objective of our education policy initiative is to create highly motivating and competitive learning conditions across the country.
To achieve this, we will invest in improving educational facilities and recruiting quality teachers, as well as promote initiatives that reward excellence for both teachers and students.
Just like education, our healthcare system is fraught with inadequate funding, poor infrastructure, and a shortage of qualified personnel.
We aim to improve medical infrastructure and attract quality personnel to promote global best practices.
We will achieve this through strategic investments in the health sector, guided by meticulous medical audits and an evolving health funding scheme accessible to investors at zero interest.
Our electoral system is deeply flawed and undermines quality decision-making at the polls. Even with a credible electoral process free from vote buying, ballot box snatching, violence, voter intimidation, and other malpractices, we may still end up electing incompetent leaders.
Our objective is to inspire an electoral system that promotes informed decision-making, whereby citizens vote based on convincing ideas that address their concerns, not because they are deceived, coerced, or manipulated to vote against their convictions.
We will work toward this by initiating and lobbying support for an Executive Bill that promotes sound decision-making at the polls, to be passed into law by the national legislature.
