Peter Obi Clueless, Always Angry Anytime Nigeria Makes Progress Under Tinubu — Presidency

By Rotela Oguns

Daniel Bwala, the Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, lacks a clear idea of how to govern the country even if elected to steer the ship of the state.

Bwala said this is why Obi gets angry whenever Nigeria makes progress under the administration of his principal.

He added that the former Anambra governor has made volte-face on some of the policies he vowed to implement prior to the 2023 presidential election should he emerge the nation’s helmsman following the bold reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration.

Bwala’s reaction was prompted by Obi’s remarks that he would no longer remove the fuel subsidy.

Posting on X, Bwala also made reference to comments attributed to Obi that he would not set up state police if he became Nigeria’s president.

He wrote: “I don’t know why every time Nigeria makes progress, it angers Peter Obi @PeterObi. Why?

“It is the same Nigeria he is trying to govern in his wild goose chase. It might be true to say that the only person he pays attention to is the mad man on Opi-iweka road.

“Before the 2023 elections, he promised to take away the subsidy; we did, and now he is saying he won’t. He said he would make state police; we did, but now he’s saying he won’t.

“He said he would bring all the foreign exchange together; we did, and now he is saying he won’t. It looks like he doesn’t have a clear idea of what he intends to do for Nigeria.”

The NDC presidential candidate has recently been criticized for promising to transform Nigeria if given the opportunity to govern its citizens without being able to articulate how he would actualize his dream.
