The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has responded to recent attacks from President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, by urging his critics to focus on addressing the sufferings of Nigerians.
Onanuga had accused Obi of planning mayhem in Nigeria and labeled him a failed presidential candidate, holding him responsible for any potential crisis.
However, Obi countered by emphasizing the need for his attackers to redirect their energy towards making Nigeria a better place.
In a post on X, Obi wrote: “I urge you to channel your energy and resources towards helping everyday Nigerians who are struggling to find their next meal, secure education for their children, gain employment, and access adequate healthcare.
“Rather than fabricating lies, you and your paymasters should listen to the cries of the poor, who cannot afford medicine and who are uncertain about their next meal. Pay attention to the voices of reason from individuals and institutions that emphasize the plight of our citizens. Let us unite in building a nation where everyone can thrive-PO”
