Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has launched a pointed critique of President Bola Tinubu’s communication style, arguing that the administration has retreated into a ‘bunker’ mentality that severs the essential link that should exist between the Aso Rock and Nigerians
In a recent interview, the leading opposition figure and NDC candidate contended that the President is increasingly governing through spokespersons and aides rather than engaging directly with citizens.
For Mr Obi, this overreliance on intermediaries reflects a disconnect from Nigerians’ immediate concerns
“The person voted for in this country is Bola Tinubu,” Mr Obi stated. “He’s no longer talking to us; he’s gone into Aso Rock and turned it into a bunker.”
The former Anambra governor insisted that if the administration is to regain public trust, the President must abandon his current insulation and speak directly to the people, rather than outsourcing his voice to others.
