Sam Amadi Critiques Tinubu's Campaign Strategy Against Obi

Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, expressed that President Bola Tinubu is unable to match the campaign activities of Peter Obi, the candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Amadi noted that Tinubu has not been traveling to various states, including those affected by tragedies, and has limited movement.

He mentioned that Tinubu's age and frailty are evident, as he recently cut short a trip to Jos due to concerns about hostility on the road. Amadi suggested that Tinubu could improve his campaign presence by participating in debates and directly addressing the public's concerns.

He pointed out that the current economic situation is challenging, with the World Bank reporting a high number of people living in extreme poverty. Amadi concluded that while second-term presidents typically engage more actively on the campaign trail, Tinubu's strategy may not be effective in competing with the intensity of the NDC candidate and Atiku Abubakar.
