ABUJA – The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has launched a strong critique against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing them of focusing on political maneuvering at the expense of effective governance.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the former Anambra State governor expressed concern over what he described as the administration’s misplaced priorities, arguing that political considerations should not overshadow the urgent needs of national development and citizen welfare.
Obi’s comments come amid ongoing political tensions and policy debates, with the opposition figure highlighting what he perceives as a gap between government actions and the pressing challenges facing ordinary Nigerians.
The Labour Party stalwart emphasized that national interest should supersede political calculations, particularly in addressing economic hardship, security challenges, and infrastructure deficits affecting various regions.
This criticism represents the latest in a series of assessments from opposition leaders regarding the Tinubu administration’s performance since assuming office in May 2023.
The Presidency has yet to respond to Obi’s latest remarks, though previous criticisms from opposition figures have typically been met with reassurances about the government’s commitment to national development.
