Nigeria: 'Go Home', Obi Says Tinubu Lacks Energy to Govern Nigeria

Obi said Tinubu lacks the energy and capacity to lead Nigeria and accused the APC-led government of worsening poverty, unemployment, corruption and insecurity.

  • On Monday, Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi declared that President Bola Tinubu has produced the highest number of poor people, speaking at the NDC National Campaign Council inauguration in Kaduna State.
  • Last Saturday, President Tinubu launched his second-term campaign, blaming opposition politicians for poverty rather than explaining outcomes from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 budgets, while prioritizing governance over attending rallies in every state.
  • Citing worsening indicators, Obi noted Nigeria's poverty ranking has risen to above 140 from below 140 since Tinubu took office, while questioning the President's resolve to handle national security and prevent kidnappings.
  • "The purpose of governance is to solve problems, not to blame people," Obi said, seeking a 2027 leadership change and insisting the current government lacks competence and compassion to address Nigeria's challenges.
  • Ahead of the 2027 election, the APC has defended its decision to limit campaign rallies to 12 states to maintain governance focus, while opposition figures continue scrutinizing the President's physical capacity and economic performance.
