APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda dismisses statements by Peter Obi of the Labour Party suggesting President Bola Tinubu is “tired” and should resign ahead of the 2027 elections. In responses reported by multiple outlets, Yilwatda argues that Tinubu is not tired and rejects Obi’s characterization as a basis for leadership change. Speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Yilwatda also questions the rationale behind Obi’s call, asserting that the claim does not hold. Another report frames the APC response as challenging Obi’s remarks directly, portraying the push for resignation as unfounded. The dispute centers on whether Tinubu should continue in office and how the 2027 electoral contest should be approached. The outlets agree that Yilwatda made the rebuttal on behalf of the APC, specifically countering Obi’s “tired” comment and related calls for Tinubu to step aside. No source reports any change in Tinubu’s position as a result of the criticism.
