The Presidency has once again taken a swipe at the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate Peter Obi.
In a post on his verified X handle on Thursday, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, urged Obi to stop deceiving Nigerians with sermons.
This comes against the backdrop of the Anambra State debt scandal, where Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration claimed that it was still repaying debt borrowed by Obi’s administration during his tenure as governor from 2006 to 2014.
According to Onanuga, “The evidence is clear. If a small, homogenous state like Anambra could not be transformed despite $4.05 billion in spending and massive borrowing, how can the same manager promise to fix a complex federation of 36 states and the FCT?
“Mr Obi’s eight years were an unmitigated failure, now masked by revisionism. He should desist from deceiving Nigerians with sanctimonious sermons.
“The desperation is even clearer in his reported four-year single-term pact with his running mate, in direct contradiction of the two-term, eight-year provision of the 1999 Constitution.”
