As Nigeria marked its 66th Independence Anniversary, former federal lawmaker and entrepreneur Hon. Shina Peller urged politicians to stop making empty promises and focus on practical solutions to rebuild the nation. He made this call on October 3, 2026. Peller, who is the Oyo North senatorial candidate on the platform of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), stated that the harsh economic realities confronting households and businesses could no longer be sugarcoated.
Peller noted that public trust in government has remained thin, and citizens need leaders who would move beyond speeches, statistics, and rhetoric to take concrete action. According to him, the nation’s current challenges demand courageous leadership, greater accountability, and policies that would create opportunities, particularly for the youth. He expressed confidence in the resilience and creativity of Nigerian youth, crediting them with driving local economies despite prevailing hardships.
Genuine national rebirth, Peller argued, requires youth inclusion, economic decentralisation, and results-oriented governance. He stated that Nigeria does not need career talkers or empty statistics, but fearless doers ready to disrupt the status quo and demand accountability from public institutions. Peller’s comments come as Nigerians continue to face economic hardship and seek effective leadership.
To demonstrate his commitment to practical solutions, Peller announced the Independence Day Liftteller Giveaway, a ₦3million empowerment initiative providing financial relief to citizens. The initiative, launched on September 12, 2026, will run in three phases and give 30 beneficiaries ₦100,000 each. He explained that to participate, individuals must download and register on the Liftteller app, follow Peller’s profile, and answer trivia questions posted on his official social media platforms and Liftteller handle.
The first 10 correct respondents in each phase will win ₦100,000, according to Peller. He warned participants to remain vigilant against fraudsters, impersonators, and fake accounts requesting registration fees or personal banking details. Peller clarified that he has not authorised any third-party channels or payment requests, urging the public to verify information exclusively through his official platforms.
Peller’s initiative translates his message into tangible aid during tough economic times. He expressed confidence that his approach would make a positive impact on Nigerians. As the nation continues to navigate economic challenges, Peller’s call for practical solutions and effective leadership resonates with many citizens.
Peller’s Oyo North senatorial campaign and his empowerment initiative have generated significant interest among Nigerians. His emphasis on youth inclusion, economic decentralisation, and results-oriented governance reflects the concerns of many citizens. As Nigeria continues to mark milestones, Peller’s message to politicians and citizens alike is clear: practical solutions and effective leadership are essential for rebuilding the nation.
