Obi expresses disappointment over the President’s Address

Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has expressed disappointment over President Bola Tinubu’s Sunday broadcast to Nigerians concerning the ongoing nationwide protests.
The former Anambra State Governor, in a post on his X handle on Monday, strongly advised the President to distance himself from sycophants and surround himself with individuals who will present the unvarnished truth.
Obi stated that Tinubu’s address appeared disconnected from the harsh realities faced by the people and failed to address critical issues that initially triggered the protest.
According to him, the speech either reflects a lack of awareness among his advisers regarding the scale of anger, hunger, and hardship in the country, or a deliberate choice to disregard it.
