Nigeria’s presidential candidate Peter Obi says there are times he believes President Bola Tinubu is not fully in charge of his administration. Obi made the remarks during an interview on Arise TV on Thursday, while commenting on the state of the nation and issues including insecurity, fuel prices and corruption.
Obi argues that Tinubu should address Nigerians personally on critical matters instead of leaving such communication to aides and associates. He also criticises what he calls the president’s frequent foreign trips, saying Tinubu should spend more time dealing with insecurity within Nigeria.
He urges the president to visit insecurity-affected states, naming Zamfara, Sokoto, Plateau and Kano, to assess conditions directly. The outlets report the same core claims—Obi’s belief about Tinubu’s oversight, his call for direct presidential communication, and his recommendation of on-the-ground security visits.
