‘Show Leadership And Address Nigerians’ – Peter Obi Tells Tinubu

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has asked President Bola Tinubu to address Nigerians amidst the ongoing #EndBadGovernance nationwide protest.

Naija News reports that Peter Obi, in an interview with Arise TV, called on the protesters to ensure they carry out their protest within the ambits of the law.

He called on President Tinubu to show leadership and address the nation, stressing he is the one holding the mandate of the people.

He said, “My message is first to the protesters, whatever they are doing must be within the ambit of the law. We must do whatever we do within the law as law-abiding citizens.

“I want people to stay within the law even when they make their legitimate demands which everybody can see in the nation today, and my appeal at this period is for the President to address the nation. He is the person that is elected. He is the person that is holding the mandate of the people. At times like this is the time for him to show leadership and address the nation.”

Peter Obi also refuted viral claims of leading a protest in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, stating that he has been in Onitsha, the Anambra State.

He added, “As you can see, I’m here in Onitsha, there is no way I could have been in Abuja and Onitsha simultaneously. I have been in Onitsha since yesterday after my visit to the school of nursing in Benin.”
