The Presidency, through Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications Sunday Dare, criticises Peter Obi for urging President Bola Tinubu to resign from office. In a statement published on Dare’s official social media page, Dare argues that Obi’s position conflicts with Nigeria’s constitutional presidential system, which предусматри fixed terms for elected presidents. He says the country does not operate a parliamentary model in which governments can be removed through votes of confidence. Dare also responds to Obi’s reasons for calling for resignation, which include worsening economic conditions, insecurity, and allegations that Tinubu has not met campaign promises. The Presidency maintains that disagreements should be pursued through Nigeria’s democratic and constitutional processes. Dare further says Obi’s approach focuses on criticism without offering practical alternatives, adding that national leadership requires maturity, balance, and adherence to constitutional principles. The statement characterises Obi’s demand as reflecting what it calls a misunderstanding of the constitutional framework governing the presidency, and questions why Nigerians should trust a presidential candidate who, according to the Presidency, does not demonstrate respect for the foundations of the office.
