BREAKING: Watch Your Mouth, Stop Running my Govt Down – Tinubu Threatens Peter Obi

Bola Tinubu has cautioned Peter Obi to moderate his remarks and refrain from undermining his administration. In a statement issued by Mr. Tinubu’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, the presidency denounced Mr. Obi’s criticism as “exaggerated.”

Peter Obi, a former presidential candidate and ex-governor, had accused the Tinubu administration of political brigandage and corruption, asserting that democracy in Nigeria has collapsed.

The presidency strongly rejected his assertions.

“I will urge him to watch what he says and restrain himself from playing to the gallery,” the presidential aide warned. “His hyperbolic remarks, suited for headlines, have been made without deep reflection and lack a solid logical foundation.”

He berated Mr Obi as a “discontented and disgruntled” politician.

Mr. Onanuga argued that if democracy had truly collapsed, as Mr. Obi claimed, the former Anambra governor would not have the freedom to speak openly.

“How can a democracy that has strengthened over the past 26 years be considered collapsed?” the presidential spokesman questioned. “Only a dissatisfied and disgruntled Peter, who freely enjoys the rights democracy grants, could perceive such a downfall through his own lens.”

He further stated, “If, as Peter alleges, democracy had indeed crumbled and we were under an undemocratic regime, he would not have been able to express his views on Monday at Emeka Ihedioha’s colloquium.”

At the same event, former President Olusegun Obasanjo also made critical remarks about the Tinubu administration.
