Peter Obi Affirms Respect for President Tinubu at Conference
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, stated his respect for President Bola Tinubu, asserting that he would refrain from personal attacks against him or any political office holder. Obi made these remarks on Friday at the 2026 All Nigeria Editors’ Conference in Enugu, themed “The Ballot, the Media and the Task of Keeping Democracy Alive.” He emphasized that political disagreements should focus on policies, governance, and performance rather than personal insults.
Obi declared, “I cannot abuse any governor. I cannot abuse anybody in government,” and noted that he has never publicly criticized President Tinubu.
He stressed that while respect for public officials is essential, it should not hinder scrutiny of their decisions and performance. Obi also highlighted the role of political leaders in shaping societal values and urged media editors to hold leaders accountable based on their records and qualifications.
