Peter Obi Criticizes President Tinubu’s Address, Calls for Immediate Action on National Issues

In a recent statement, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has expressed disappointment with President Bola Tinubu’s national address, stating that it failed to tackle the pressing issues that have led to widespread protests across Nigeria. Obi emphasized that the President’s speech did not offer concrete solutions to the country’s economic challenges and social unrest.

“Mr. President, you and your team were elected not just to witness the protests but to alleviate the suffering of the people,” Obi remarked, highlighting the need for proactive governance in addressing citizens’ grievances. [1]

Obi also pointed out that the President’s delayed response may have contributed to the escalation of tensions, leading to unnecessary loss of lives, including those of security personnel.
