Peter Obi Affirms Respect for President Tinubu at Conference

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), expressed his respect for President Bola Tinubu during his speech at the 2026 All Nigeria Editors’ Conference held in Enugu. He stated that he would never abuse Tinubu, asserting that political disagreements should center on policies and performance rather than personal attacks.
Obi remarked, “I cannot abuse any governor. I cannot abuse anybody in government.
I don’t need to abuse people even in the federal government.” He emphasized that he has never called out Tinubu by name and reiterated his respect for the President. However, Obi also noted that respect for public office holders should not hinder citizens and the media from questioning their decisions and performance.
He urged editors to scrutinize politicians based on their records, statements, and qualifications, highlighting the influence of political leaders' character and conduct on societal values.
