Tinubu's Spokesman Critiques Peter Obi's Statements

Bayo Onanuga, the spokesman for President Bola Tinubu, stated that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, requires counselling due to a pattern of gaffes, inconsistencies, and incoherence in his public statements. Onanuga's remarks were made in a post on his X account, responding to Obi's reported advice to Nigerians abroad against sending money home.

He criticized Obi's stance on diaspora remittances, which are crucial for many Nigerian families and the economy. The full context of Obi's comments was not available, making it difficult to ascertain his exact position.

Onanuga's comments reflect the heightened political exchanges as parties prepare for the 2027 general election. Obi, who previously contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, is now associated with the Nigeria Democratic Congress for the upcoming election.
