Peter Obi Challenges Tinubu on Borrowed Billions and Poverty

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has called on President Bola Tinubu to explain the billions of naira borrowed by his administration and to stop attributing the country's economic challenges to opposition candidates. This statement came after Tinubu, during the All Progressives Congress campaign flag-off in Kaduna State, accused his opponents of creating poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

In response, Obi, speaking at the inauguration of the NDC’s campaign council in Kaduna State, questioned what benefits Nigerians have received from the funds borrowed by Tinubu's government. He criticized Tinubu for the increasing poverty levels, stating that the President has made history by producing the highest number of poor people according to recent reports.

Obi emphasized that he and his running mate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, would prioritize addressing Nigeria's issues rather than placing blame on others.
