How Tinubu is overfeeding Nigerians – Peter Obi knocks hard | Read Details
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, has taken a swipe on president Bola Tinubu for making Nigeria to be known as one of the hungriest Nations in the world under two years of being in office.
Obi taking to his X handle on Monday, recalled that in November 2022 while campaign in Delta state , Tinubu had criticised him for giving statistics, and assured Nigerians that all he was concerned about was to put food in Nigerians’ table.
“President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions” Obi regretted.
He wrote;
In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying “Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.
Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.
President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.
Governance is not a rocket science, it’s not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
