The Presidency has described the call by the National Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, that President Bola Tinubu should resign based on a comparison with the British Prime Minister’s voluntary exit as childish and hollow.
The Presidency said such a comparison is not only misplaced but also reflects a selective and distorted view of Nigeria’s realities since 2023.
In a statement in Abuja on Monday issued by the presidential spokesman, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Presidency said the call by Obi is not a call to hold the leader accountable, but rather a mere political grandstanding and an unworthy distraction just hours after President Tinubu’s party recorded resounding victories in the weekend polls.
“Obi’s latest comments calling for President Bola Tinubu’s resignation, based on a comparison with the British Prime Minister’s voluntary exit, are not only misplaced but also reflect a selective and distorted view of Nigeria’s realities since 2023,” it stated.
