Peter Obi Calls for Tinubu's Resignation Amid Crisis

Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate and ex-governor of Anambra State, has publicly urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign from office. In a statement shared via his official X account, Obi criticized Tinubu's administration for failing to meet public expectations and delivering on major campaign promises.

He referenced the recent resignation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as an example of accountability in a democratic system, particularly when leaders do not fulfill their commitments. Obi highlighted the increasing economic hardships and insecurity faced by Nigerians, noting that Tinubu's promises during the 2023 presidential campaign, including improvements in electricity supply and anti-corruption efforts, have not materialized.

He recalled Tinubu's past demands for the resignation of former President Goodluck Jonathan during the Chibok schoolgirls' abduction, suggesting that Tinubu should apply the same standards to his own administration. Obi's call for resignation reflects a broader sentiment of public frustration with the current government's performance.
