The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has said President Bola Tinubu is “tired” and should leave office after the 2027 general election.
Obi said he is not desperate to become Nigeria’s president, insisting that his priority is to see the country function effectively.
Speaking during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the former Anambra State governor also criticised the Tinubu administration, alleging that its policies have pushed more Nigerians into poverty.
According to Obi, some Nigerians doing well in business have resorted to selling kuli-kuli.
He said: “Tinubu is tired and needs to go home and rest. When Tinubu came into power 87 million Nigerians were in poverty but today it’s 140 million.
“Insecurity has gotten worse. Which hope are they going to renew again? You can’t renew failure.
“I am not desperate to be President of Nigeria. There’s a way you will fail in school, they will ask you to leave the school.
“People who had business when you came into power are now people who are selling kuli-kuli.”
