Tinubu should be in Guinness World Records for causing Nigerians most hardship – Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential nominee, has
criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's governance, suggesting his impact
could be significant enough for inclusion in the Guinness World Records, but
for unfavorable reasons. During an interview with Vanguard, Obi, who previously
served as Anambra state's governor, called on Nigerians to assess Tinubu's
administration since his commencement in May 2023.
Tinubu himself had proposed that his achievements since
taking office were worthy of Guinness World Records recognition. Contrarily,
Obi sarcastically concurred, implying that if Tinubu were to be recognized, it
might be for inflicting considerable difficulties on Nigerians, as his policies
have not achieved their intended outcomes.
Reflecting on the 2023 general elections, Obi noted the
commitment of Nigerians, particularly the youth, towards effective governance,
challenging the notion of their indifference. He criticized the elite class,
including those in charge of the electoral process and government officials,
for their lack of dedication to promoting good governance, which he believes
influenced the election results.
Shifting the focus from the elections, Obi emphasized
current governance issues, pointing out the growing poverty among Nigerians and
the uncertainty surrounding basic commodity prices. He suggested that the
evaluation of Tinubu's administration should come from the general population,
citing their firsthand experiences with the ongoing economic challenges.
