Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi has challenged President Bola Tinubu to visit the remaining 33 states of the federation after his overnight stay in Akwa Ibom.
CDA News Nigeria reports that Obi reacted on X to Tinubu’s remark at the All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Uyo on Friday. Tinubu said he would stay overnight and have a “second term presidential sleep.”
Obi congratulated the president on spending a night in the state. He urged him to “spend time with the people” in other states.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that Obi also asked Tinubu to explain what his administration has done with the N15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy. He raised the more than $100 billion he said the government has borrowed, higher revenues from taxing Nigerians, and revenues that he said surpassed the government’s target last year.
At the same rally, Tinubu criticised Obi’s record as Anambra governor, citing erosion in the state, according to Blueprint. Tinubu’s remarks on Obi’s tenure and Obi’s figures on subsidy savings and borrowing have not been independently verified by CDA News Nigeria.
