The Labour Party, LP, 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has outlined key areas for President Bola Tinubu to focus on.
In response to government criticism, Obi stated that instead of spreading falsehoods, the federal government should pay attention to the struggles of poor Nigerians who are fighting for their daily needs.
His remarks come after Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser on information and strategy to President Tinubu accused Peter Obi of being the mastermind behind the upcoming nationwide protests.
Onanuga suggested that Obi should be held accountable should chaos break out in the country.
In his reply, Obi charged Tinubu’s administration to prioritise improving Nigeria by ensuring quality education for children, creating job opportunities for young people, and enhancing healthcare services.
Taking to his X handle, the former Governor of Anambra State stated,
“I urge you to channel your energy and resources towards helping everyday Nigerians who are struggling to find their next meal, secure education for their children, gain employment, and access adequate healthcare.
“Rather than fabricating lies, you and your paymasters should listen to the cries of the poor, who cannot afford medicine and who are uncertain about their next meal. Pay attention to the voices of reason from individuals and institutions that emphasize the plight of our citizens. Let us unite in building a nation where everyone can thrive-PO”
