President Tinubu feeding Nigerians with wrong statistics to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic – Peter Obi says

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate, has criticized President Bola Tinubu for failing to fulfill his campaign promises and allegedly misleading Nigerians with false economic data, including misrepresenting GDP, unemployment, and inflation figures.

Obi recalled Tinubu’s 2022 campaign speech in Delta State, where Tinubu dismissed statistics and promised to focus on providing food for Nigerians. He accused the President of now relying on “false data” to paint a positive picture of the economy.

The former Anambra governor stressed that effective governance requires competence and sincerity of purpose.

’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”
