Peter Obi Denies Fighting Tinubu, Focuses on Poverty Governance Nigeria

Akwa Ibom State Governor Pastor Umo Eno has defended President Bola Tinubu, asserting that the economic and security challenges Nigeria faces predate Tinubu's administration and urging Nigerians to support his reforms. Meanwhile, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has emphasized that he is not opposing Tinubu personally but is focused on combating bad governance, hunger, poverty, and poor education and healthcare. Obi denied reports of any coalition agreement with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 elections, stressing his commitment to social issues rather than political positions. Obi highlighted the need for universal basic education and criticized the government for neglecting children's education, with religious organizations stepping in to fill gaps. Obi's recent meeting with Tinubu in Rome was described as a gesture of civility, not political rivalry. Both leaders are thus portrayed as addressing Nigeria's challenges from different perspectives, with calls for unity and focus on long-term development.
