A former Anambra State Governor and the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has claimed that some Nigerians who supported President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 election and had businesses before his administration came into power have been forced into hardship.
Obi said some of those who had businesses when Tinubu assumed office had lost their businesses and were now struggling to survive, asking whether they had become petty traders selling kuli-kuli.
The former presidential candidate stated this during an interview with Chude Jideonwo which was published on Wednesday, while responding to questions on whether the popularity of the movement that supported his 2023 presidential ambition had reduced.
According to Obi, the support base behind his campaign had not weakened but had expanded as more Nigerians assessed the performance of the current administration.
He argued that many Nigerians who supported Tinubu based on political experience and previous records had changed their views after experiencing the realities of governance under the administration.
