Obi Demands Tinubu's Resignation Over N8.83trn Spending

Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate, has called for the resignation of President Bola Tinubu after an International Monetary Fund (IMF) report indicated that N8.83 trillion in expenditures incurred in 2025 were not reflected in the national budget. Obi highlighted that this spending, which represents two percent of Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), lacks legislative oversight and scrutiny, raising concerns about grand corruption within Tinubu's administration.

He argued that the funds should have been utilized to improve the education and healthcare sectors, which are crucial for economic development. Obi emphasized that the findings from the IMF demonstrate the corrupt and incompetent nature of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government, warning that the disregard for public financial management procedures poses a grave danger to national security and stability.

He reiterated his previous calls for Tinubu's resignation due to incompetence and failure to fulfill campaign promises.
