Peter Obi Urges Tinubu to Resign Over Economic Failures

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), called for President Bola Tinubu to resign, criticizing his administration for the country's economic challenges. During a recent event, Obi emphasized that his administration would prioritize tackling poverty, fighting corruption, and ensuring public funds benefit Nigerians.

He stated he would not divert public funds if elected and would hold officials accountable for the misuse of resources. Obi questioned the effectiveness of the borrowing undertaken by the Tinubu administration, asking what benefits Nigerians had received from it.

He accused Tinubu of failing to adequately explain the achievements of his government in the annual budgets for 2023, 2024, and 2025. Obi claimed that under Tinubu's leadership, the number of people living in poverty had significantly increased.

He criticized Tinubu for launching his second-term campaign without addressing the issues related to public spending and poverty.
