Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) candidate for president in the general election of 2023, has mockingly praised President Bola Tinubu.
Obi asserts that Tinubu is successfully carrying out the pledges he made to Nigerians during his campaign, including emulating the policies of the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration has been characterised as directionless and illiterate.
During his campaign, Tinubu pledged to pick up where his predecessor left off.
The APC years have not been easy for the populace, particularly when it comes to putting food on the table.
During his appearance on Arise TV on Tuesday, Obi asserted that the president had fulfilled his commitments to his constituents.
“He [Tinubu] is doing well because what he promised people is exactly what he is doing; that he would start and continue from where the previous government stopped,” Obi said.

“Someone who met the dollar at 300 to 400, and now it is 1,500, he has done fantastic.
“What is happening can be turned around with a competent leader who has the capacity and compassion to serve. I would make sure to address Nigerians at least once every month.”
Tinubu removed fuel subsidies on his first day in office and later floated the naira, leading to economic shocks, including inflation, higher living costs, and currency devaluation.
Among other things, the electricity tariff was adjusted to attract investment and improve supply, but many Nigerians worry about paying more without a stable power supply.
