Peter Obi Takes Aim At Tinubu: "He's Delivering What He Promised"

Peter Obi Criticizes Tinubu's Leadership: Is He Keeping His Promises?

Well, folks, here’s a story you won’t want to miss. Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has been vocal about the current state of affairs in Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu. In a candid conversation with Arise News, Obi didn’t mince words when it came to assessing the Tinubu administration's performance. He delivered a scathing critique, pointing out that the current government has not delivered on the much-anticipated dividends of democracy that Nigerians were hoping for.

Peter Obi’s Take: Tinubu Is Fulfilling His Own Promises

Now, let’s dive into what Peter Obi had to say. In a somewhat sarcastic tone, he remarked that President Tinubu is, in fact, doing a great job—but not in the way most Nigerians expected. Obi argued that Tinubu is simply following through on the promises he made during his campaign. Specifically, he emphasized that Tinubu vowed to continue the policies of the previous administration, which, according to Obi, included some less-than-stellar practices. So, in Obi’s view, Tinubu is delivering exactly what he promised: a continuation of the same challenges.

Speaking on Tuesday during an interview with Arise News, Obi painted a grim picture of Nigeria’s economic landscape under the Tinubu administration. He pointed out that the country’s economy is on a downward spiral, and the average citizen is struggling more than ever. Whether you look at the exchange rate, unemployment figures, or overall living conditions, the picture isn’t pretty, according to Obi.

Is Nigeria Better Off Under Tinubu?

When asked to evaluate the Tinubu administration’s performance after two years in office, Obi was clear in his response. He stated that no matter how you measure it, Nigeria is not better off today than it was before Tinubu took office. Here’s what he had to say:

“I always try to avoid assessing the current government because I’ve consistently maintained that Tinubu is doing well. Why? Because he’s delivering exactly what he promised. He promised to pick up where the previous administration left off, and that’s precisely what he’s doing. If you look at the exchange rate, for instance, the naira was at 300 to 400 against the dollar, and now it’s at 1,500. Fantastic job, right? Unemployment? Everything else? It’s all on a downward slide. And guess what? He’s doing well because that’s what he promised.”

Obi’s remarks underscore a growing sentiment among many Nigerians who feel that the current administration has not lived up to expectations. Whether you agree with his assessment or not, it’s clear that the challenges facing Nigeria are significant, and the road ahead is likely to be a bumpy one.

What Lies Ahead for Nigeria?

As we look to the future, the question remains: Can President Tinubu turn things around? Or will the trends highlighted by Peter Obi continue? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Nigerians are watching closely, and they’re not afraid to voice their opinions. In the meantime, leaders will need to step up and deliver real solutions if they hope to restore faith in the government and improve the lives of everyday citizens.
