The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has insisted that President Bola Tinubu is tired and needs to go home and rest in 2027.
The NDC standard bearer, however, clarified that he is not desperate for power, but wants Nigeria to work.
In an interview with media personality Chude, the former Governor of Anambra State regretted that Tinubu’s administration has pushed millions of Nigerians into poverty.
According to Obi, some Nigerians who were 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 in 2023, about 87 million Nigerians were in poverty but today it’s over 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,” Obi fumed with a sense of unacceptability.
