The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has accused President Bola Tinubu of plunging Nigeria and its citizens further into poverty<\/h3>\n

Peter Obi, in a personally signed statement released via his \ud835\udd4f account on Monday, said under Tinubu\u2019s watch, Nigeria is now classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world.<\/h3>\n

The Labour Party chieftain recalled how Tinubu, as a presidential candidate during the 2023 election campaigns, berated him for frequently quoting statistics.<\/p>\n

Obi, however, said that the same Tinubu, after assuming power, is now disseminating incorrect statistics about the economic situation in Nigeria as a way to cover up his failures as President.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he former Anambra State Governor concluded that governance is not rocket science and urged President Tinubu to rule with purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cIn 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 \u201cNa statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNow, 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.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP debasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cGovernance is not rocket science, it\u2019s not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
