Viral Video: Tinubu Has Performed Very Well, Kept His Campaign Promises, Peter Obi Claims
Peter Obi Praises Tinubu for Keeping Campaign Promises.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has delivered a sharp critique of President Bola Tinubu’s first year in office. Speaking on Arise News’ “Prime Time,” hosted by Charles Aniagolu, Obi asserted that Tinubu has indeed fulfilled his campaign promises, albeit to the detriment of Nigeria’s economy.
When asked by Aniagolu to assess Tinubu’s performance, Obi did not hold back. “I think he has kept to his campaign promises to continue from where Buhari stopped. He has driven up food inflation, energy prices, and in just nine months, Tinubu has increased Nigeria’s debts to ₦16 trillion.”
Obi detailed the economic downturn under Tinubu’s administration:
- Exchange rate: Previously ₦450 to the dollar, now ₦1480.
- Bag of rice: Increased from ₦35,000 to ₦80,000.
- Fuel price: Jumped from ₦190 to ₦780.
- Beans: Rose from ₦30,000 to ₦85,000.
- Bread: Climbed from ₦350 to ₦1500.
“Tinubu has destroyed the Nigerian economy, far below other African countries we were better than,” Obi concluded, emphasizing the severe economic impact felt by Nigerians.
