Peter Obi Critiques Tinubu's Campaign Commitment

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, criticized President Bola Tinubu during a political summit in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. Obi alleged that Tinubu had spent over 260 days outside Nigeria and questioned his commitment to the upcoming 2027 general election, stating that Tinubu could not dedicate 36 days to campaign across the country.

Obi asserted that Tinubu lacked the energy and competence to govern Nigeria and suggested he should resign. He urged Tinubu to come to Abakaliki to explain his government’s actions over the past three years and account for borrowed funds.

Obi emphasized his desire for unity among Nigerians, regardless of ethnic backgrounds, and declared his intention to address critical issues such as hunger, insecurity, and corruption if elected. He promised to declare an emergency on several national challenges and vowed to take decisive action against embezzlement of public funds.
