Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has taken a jab at President Bola Tinubu, sarcastically commending him for fulfilling his pledge to continue from where former President Muhammadu Buhari left off.
Speaking during a visit to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed on Thursday, Obi criticized Tinubu’s administration for its handling of the economy. He urged Nigerians to move beyond ethnic and religious politics and instead prioritize competence and capacity in governance.
“Tinubu promised to continue where Buhari stopped. If you look at it, Buhari left the dollar at about N400; today, it is about N1,500. Rice was about N40,000; it is now over N100,000. Fuel was about N300; it is now over N1,000. I can go on and on—everything has doubled and tripled.
“So, he has done exactly as he promised,” Obi stated.
Drawing a comparison with Indonesia, the former Anambra governor highlighted how its government successfully transformed its economy over the past decade, while Nigeria’s economic indicators have worsened.
He pointed out that Nigeria’s GDP has plummeted from $500 billion to $200 billion, with per capita income declining from $3,500 to below $2,000.
Obi stressed the urgent need to revive industries, invest in education and healthcare, and shift towards a more productive and sustainable governance model.
