The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to retire from office ahead of the next general election.
Mr Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, has argued that the president is “tired” and no longer possesses the capacity to resolve Nigeria’s deteriorating economic and security challenges. The NDC candidate made these remarks on Sunday night during his appearance as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics.
The former governor contended that while Mr Tinubu may have performed effectively as governor of Lagos State, his current leadership has failed to address the nation’s escalating crises.
“The Bola Tinubu who was governor of Lagos is not the one who is president today. He is tired. He should be allowed to retire in peace and then go home,” Mr Obi stated.
