Nigeria: 'Go Home', Obi Says Tinubu Lacks Energy to Govern Nigeria
Obi said Tinubu lacks the energy and competence to lead Nigeria, accusing his administration of deepening poverty, unemployment, corruption and insecurity.
- On Monday, Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi demanded President Bola Tinubu step down in 2027, citing insufficient competence, capacity, and energy required to lead Nigeria.
- Obi criticized President Tinubu's Saturday campaign launch, stating the President blamed opposition politicians for poverty rather than explaining his use of the 2023, 2024, and 2025 budgets.
- "There is no single indicator under Tinubu that has improved," Obi claimed, noting poverty rankings rose above 140 and vowing, "We will not be in government while people kidnap 600."
- The All Progressives Congress maintains that President Tinubu's limited campaign schedule—rallies in 12 states—strategically balances governance with electioneering ahead of 2027.
- These criticisms follow intensified scrutiny of the President's physical capacity, which heightened after he returned to Nigeria from Europe on September 29, 2026.
