Obi calls Tinubu to resign

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress, called on President Bola Tinubu to step aside ahead of the 2027 election, stating that Tinubu is 'tired' and lacks capacity to address Nigeria's economic and security challenges. Obi cited World Bank Group projections that 79% of Nigerians face poverty and World Food Programme estimates that 35 million Nigerians face hunger. He also referenced mass abductions in Nigeria — Zamfara State and acknowledged U.S. President Donald Trump's commendation of Tinubu's security efforts, but argued more action is needed. Obi emphasized that the 2027 election should focus on issues affecting ordinary Nigerians.
