Obi renews attack on Tinubu, questions his energy to govern Nigeria

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has launched another attack on President Bola Tinubu, questioning his competence and energy to lead Nigeria.

Obi made the remarks on Monday in Abuja during activities marking the inauguration of his party’s presidential campaign council ahead of the 2027 elections.

Today, President Tinubu has led a government that lacks competence, capacity, compassion and commitment to deal with Nigeria’s problems.

He also questioned the President’s energy and resolve, arguing that Nigeria required a leader who would be consistently available to respond to national emergencies.

The criticism comes days after Tinubu formally launched his re-election campaign in Kaduna, where he defended his administration’s economic reforms and sought renewed support from voters.

Obi is expected to challenge the President in the January 2027 presidential election.
