"President Bola Tinubu is tired; he should be allowed to retire in peace and go home and rest," says Peter Obi.
"The Bola Tinubu that was governor [in Lagos State] is not the one who is now president. He is leading us nowhere; he doesn't have the capacity to do the job," he adds.… pic.twitter.com/4Xk7Ypgx99

Even you Obiora, have reached the retirement age.

Go and rest

2027 is for 55years old Omoyele Sowore

Peter Obi really means well for Tinubu
Imagine how he is looking after Tinubu’s wellbeing
Soon some confused followers will say he is always attacking Tinubu without proffering any solutions

Obi go and campaign with what you did as former governor of small anambra state to Nigerians

I don't think sowere has anything to offer either. I've never seen or heard him campaign on what he intends to do as president.


I like sowere but I don't think even him takes his presidential ambition seriously. A good footballer doesn't translate to a good coach/ manager. Activism is his thing and what he does better... I'm not sure about presidency or governance.


:::

After watching Seun Okinbaloye interview Peter Obi now on Channels and his many questions asked about specifics.

If only such energy and time will be spent on interviewing Tinubu and not any of his set of vuvuzelas. We must get serious as a country. Frankly speaking, a President or Presidential candidate keeping malice with the people is an unserious entity.

The Nigerian media must agree moving forward that any presidential candidate not speaking won’t be given any media mention.
Equal access to publicity is part of the checklist of a free, fair and credible election.

As old and busy as Trump is, he speaks daily. We must become serious as a people! We should have irreducible minimums in this country.

But why was Obi just lying anyhow in that interview.

They also asked him if he built any school, he started talking about how he cuts grass.

Seun: “As Anambra governor, did you build any schools? If not, why?”

Peter Obi: reply 👇🏼

Me : Anyone who think that this Agulu man is better than Tinubu should be stoned to d€ath 👇😭 pic.twitter.com/OuE6Z3TWtc

Obi lying about all his commisioners being muslim waa also not necessary. People will always fact check him.

Some obidients were saying he meant commisioner of police in some sort of damage control, but when that was fact checked too, some of the commisioners sent to the state when he was governor were Christians.

Atiku Abubakar is the next President.

It may be time for the oppostion to unite behind a single candidate, otherwise APC will win again in 2027, and no one would be able to do anything about it.

Retire in Peace ?...abi he meant to say rest in pieces?

What will happen to the innocent blood they've shed stealing the people's patrimony.

P.O if this maggot infested brown teeth druglord is not ending up in prison I'm not voting for u!

I am no Tinubu fan. However, it does not lie in the mouth of an unreliable, most untrustworthy and deceptive character like Peter Obi to so surmise about another.

If only Obi knows Tinubu's work rate...

Don't mind those ones who can't see the solutions Obi has offered in the past.

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.

“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

Africans leaders like to die with








POWER,WOMAN and MONEY.

This headline is misleading...did Tinubu ever say that he wanted to retire but someone is preventing him from retiring?

But he is correct. I believe that in his closet, the baba will be wondering why he stressed himself in the first place. He needs to find his way either to Paris or London to enjoy his retirement period.

Fayose once said something similar to Baba go slow many years ago, when he asked him to go and rest.

Yesterday I wrote something about this new trend of Cho Cho cho

OverCalculating:
Did he actually say this?

We have maintained, this man should not be allowed near the mic. But his public media handlers will not listen.

They are doing him more damage and harms by allowing him to grants interviews without written scripts.

Let him talk to us. Let Tinubu and Atiku also talk to us directly. You cannot claim to want to lead us and you will be going through emisarries. Let them make their mistakes themselves. Buhari will talk during his time, 4 different people will interpret what he said. We can't be having presidents who behave like Oracles, which we all know is a way to shield their incompetency and lies. The sycophants around him will then say it is silent achiever. If we had pressed Buhari well, we would have known he was not fit for office since, man was sick and made us spend our money taking care of him. They never want those interviews. Come on

SixSeven:
APC wants to sell us a dummy.

While Tinubu's single media chat in late 2024 was a comprehensive session involving multiple major Nigerian and international outlets (Arise News, Channels TV, Bloomberg), it remains an infrequent occurrence compared to the daily or weekly media availability common in many other G20 and emerging economy nations.

It's nothing but the truth,

Light,we no see,
Security issues, even him(tinibu) dey fear
Educational sector, nothing to write about
Salary,e no even regular and na peanuts,

He's even confused

Emotional blackmail.

Instead of you to campaign with intelligence.

How do you Know Mr Man, Are you His Personal Doctor? Town Crier

Seeplusplus:
Even you Obiora, have reached the retirement age. Go and rest 2027 is for 55years old Omoyele Sowore

.Which Sowore, the content creator or another one? As for Tinubu, he should retire to his grandchildren. A president that approved a budget with FAKE Agency is a DISASTER

chieveboy:
If only Obi knows Tinubu's work rate...

The work rate of destroying Nigeria in three years of hyperinflation, worsening unemployment, insecurity, debt burden, tax burden etc?

Do you think that is why God struck down the balablu bulaba master strategist in Turkey

Which african president has ever resigned honourably? They rather prefers to either die there or booted out by military coup plotters.

This nairaland . Be like say Tinubu done buy this thing 'codedly'.

Headline should be "Tinubu Is Tired, Should Be Allowed To Retire In Peace" Peter Obi"

Not

Tinubu Is Tired, Should Be Allowed To Retire In Peace, Says Peter Obi

Why write " says Peter Obi "

Kobicove:
This headline is misleading...did Tinubu ever say that he wanted to retire and someone is preventing him from retiring?

I also wonder about the bold part.

yarimo:
Obi go and campaign with what you did as former governor of small anambra state to Nigerians

Hope you have received your last month APC 10k salary?

I just dey wonder where this monthly 10k salary will carry you go


Is dis man not tired in your eye

yarimo:
Obi go and campaign with what you did as former governor of small anambra state to Nigerians

Awww.. No more strength to defend again. He's sounding tired.

Tinubu has tried his best which is not good enough to get Nigeria out of the blues he put us in, let him go home and rest with his beautiful grandkids and cute wife.


The job to govern Nigeria well is beyond his ability, he did tried in some areas but thats it, he should go home peacefully and go play with his lovely grandkids

chieveboy:
If only Obi knows Tinubu's work rate...

Pleased, what is the result of Tinubu’s work rate? Destroyed the economy, pushed the country to the poverty capital of the world, eliminated the middle class, explained unemployment and quadrupled insecurity?
What are the benefits of the so called "Work Rate". Okay, he increased taxes and increased electricity tarrifs.

His Action Has Proof to Us that His not a Good Person, Someone Like Him can't Rule Us

wellmax:
Emotional blackmail.
