Presidential candidate of Labour Party, LP, in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi has accused the President Bola Tinubu of overfeeding Nigerians with wrong statistics from wrong unemployment and inflation figures, and GDP rebasing.
Obi said the president’s goal is to put a positive spin on the country’s deteriorating economic and household conditions.
In his X post on Monday, Obi said: “In November 2022, while campaigning in Delta State, the then All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, now the President, berated the other presidential candidate (Peter Obi), he was ashamed to call his name, saying “Na statistics we go chop all I want is to put food on the table of Nigerians.’
“Now two years into his 4-year tenure, Nigeria is classified as one of the hungriest nations in the world with millions of Nigerians not knowing where their next meal will come from.

“President Tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong statistics from wrong unemployment figures, wrong inflation figures, and now GDP rebasing, all to put a positive spin on our deteriorating economic and household conditions.
“Governance is not a rocket science, it’s not a gamble, like I have always reiterated, it requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity and compassion.
“A new Nigeria is possible,” he added.
