President Tinubu overfeeding Nigerians with wrong statistics from wrong unemployment figures – Peter Obi
Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has criticized President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of failing to deliver on his campaign promises and misleading Nigerians with distorted data, such as understated GDP figures and inaccurate unemployment and inflation rates.
Obi referred to Tinubu’s 2022 campaign speech in Delta State, where the President dismissed the use of statistics and vowed instead to prioritize feeding the nation.
According to Obi, Tinubu now regularly uses “false data” to create a misleadingly positive impression of the country’s economic condition.
The former Anambra State governor emphasized that genuine leadership requires both competence and a sincere commitment to national progress.
He said …
“In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then APC Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other Presidential Candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying “Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians”.
Now 2 years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.
President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.
Governance is not a rocket science, it’s not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO”
