Go Home, You Don’t Have The Energy Required To Lead Nigeria – Peter Obi Tells Tinubu

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to step down, arguing that he lacks the energy and resolve required to lead Nigeria.

“Above all, President Tinubu does not have the energy and resolve required to lead Nigeria today, and he must go home,” Obi said.

“We need him to go home. Nigeria cannot be governed with the energy he has today. Nigeria needs a president who will be available and present,” he added.

Obi accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration of worsening poverty, unemployment, corruption and insecurity in the country.

He also challenged Tinubu to explain his administration’s achievements and spending before seeking re-election in 2027.

The former Anambra State governor’s remarks followed Tinubu’s announcement that he would not attend every campaign rally ahead of the 2027 general elections, citing the need to focus on governance and national obligations, including debt payments.

Obi also criticised Tinubu’s October 24 campaign launch in Kaduna, accusing the President of blaming the opposition instead of accounting for the outcomes of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 budgets.

Pledging a different approach to leadership, Obi said governance should focus on finding solutions to national challenges rather than assigning blame. He also promised to pursue an aggressive fight against corruption.

“The purpose of governance is to solve problems, not to blame people. I will not blame anybody. We will create that new Nigeria that is possible,” he said.
