Insecurity: 'Tinubu has tried his best but needs to rest' - Peter Obi

Peter Obi and President Bola Tinubu.

The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has backed comments by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, that President Bola Tinubu has done his best to address Nigeria’s security challenges, but argued that the President should now “go home and rest.”

Obi made the remarks during an interview with Chude Jideonwo uploaded on YouTube on Thursday while explaining why Nigerians should support his presidential ambition ahead of the 2027 election.

Responding to Adeboye’s recent comments on Tinubu’s handling of insecurity, Obi said the respected cleric’s assessment was accurate.

“Somebody asked me yesterday, they said that Pastor Adeboye said Tinubu has tried his best and he’s not happy. And I said, no, Pastor Adeboye remains a very revered, respected religious father, whom I believe in his genuineness and goodness.
