According to Obi, mature democracies are strengthened when leaders acknowledge policy failures and respond appropriately to declining public confidence.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on President Bola Tinubu to resign from office, alleging that his administration has failed to deliver on key promises made to Nigerians and has overseen a worsening of the country's economic and security situation.
Obi made the call in a statement issued on Monday, in which he argued that accountability remains a fundamental principle of democratic governance and that leaders must be prepared to accept responsibility when they fail to meet public expectations.
The former Anambra State governor said he was prompted to reflect on leadership and accountability after listening to a speech by the British Prime Minister announcing plans to step down amid public dissatisfaction over economic challenges and unmet campaign commitments.
According to Obi, mature democracies are strengthened when leaders acknowledge policy failures and respond appropriately to declining public confidence.
