Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of being ineffective in implementing economic policies.

Obi stated, “The President that is there today, how many years has he stayed? Two years, and look at the turn of things. It means you can change things in two years. That means if I were there, you would have seen considerable change in critical areas.”

He emphasized that he would have tackled corruption head-on, reduced the cost of governance, and invested in critical areas like education and healthcare.
