The Presidency has dismissed calls by the Nigerian Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for President Bola Tinubu’s resignation as “childish, hollow and an unworthy distraction.”

Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said that Obi’s comments were an attempt to undercut the APC’s victory in the just-concluded Ekiti governorship election and the senatorial by-elections.

Onanuga said Obi’s comparison of Tinubu’s situation to that of the British Prime Minister Kier Starmer,exposed obi’s misunderstanding of Nigeria’s constitutional architecture.

He argued that Obi’s verdict that Nigeria was in its “worst possible condition” did not match verifiable economic data and global assessments of the administration’s performance.
