Peter Obi urges Tinubu to resign or skip 2027 amid worsening insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has endorsed the position of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), that President Bola Tinubu has done his best in tackling insecurity.    Obi made the remarks during a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo, which was uploaded on YouTube on Thursday. He was responding to questions about his continued political ambition and why Nigerians should support him.    Reacting to Adeboye’s recent comments on the security situation, Obi said the revered cleric was correct in stating that the President had tried his best. “Pastor Adeboye remains a very revered, respected religious father, whom I believe in his genuineness and goodness. And what he said was correct. He said he has tried his best. He’s trying his best. That’s it. It’s the correct answer,” Obi stated.    However, Obi questioned whether the President’s best efforts are sufficient for the country’s current challenges. “The question to ask is: Is his best good enough? Where we find ourselves today, that leads to the issue of capacity,” he added.   The former Anambra State governor stressed the importance of leadership qualities such as competence, capacity, compassion, commitment, and character. He suggested that President Tinubu appears tired and should “go home and rest.”   Adeboye had earlier defended Tinubu against accusations of inaction on insecurity. Speaking at a US-Nigeria Faith Heroes Award Gala in Washington, D.C., on June 23, the cleric said the President had done his part by issuing directives to security chiefs and should not be expected to personally lead military operations. Nevertheless, Adeboye expressed deep concern over the worsening security situation, which has spread across the country, and advised the President to set a 90-day ultimatum for military commanders to deliver results or resign. He also called for action against known sponsors of terrorism.     Obi’s comments come amid ongoing national discourse on leadership and governance ahead of future elections.   

 Nigeria Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu is tired and needs to go home and rest in 2027.   Obi stressed that he is not desperate for power but wants Nigeria to work.   In an interview with media personality, Chude, Obi said Tinubu’s administration has sent more Nigerians into poverty.   According to Obi, some Nigerians doing well in business have resorted to selling kuli-kuli.   He said: “Tinubu is tired and needs to go home and rest. When Tinubu came into power 87 million Nigerians were in poverty but today it’s 140 million.   “Insecurity has gotten worse. Which hope are they going to renew again? You can’t renew failure.   “I am not desperate to be President of Nigeria. There’s a way you will fail in school, they will ask you to leave the school.   “People who had business when you came into power are now people who are selling kuli-kuli.”
