Former Governor of Anambra state and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate in the 2027 election, Peter Obi, yesterday urged President Bola Tinubu to take a cue from British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, and step down from office, arguing that the current administration has failed to meet Nigerians’ expectations amid worsening economic and social conditions.
But the Presidency swiftly dismissed Obi’s remarks, describing the call for Tinubu’s resignation as childish, misplaced and undemocratic, insisting that the president was elected through a constitutional process and would continue to pursue his mandate while addressing the country’s economic and governance challenges.
