The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, Peter Obi, has said President Bola Tinubu lacks the capacity to lead Nigeria and should step aside.

Obi made the assertion during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, insisting that Tinubu has no business seeking re-election in 2027.

According to him, the president is tired and should retire, arguing that the Bola Tinubu who served as governor of Lagos State is not the same person now leading Nigeria.

“As it is right now, Bola Tinubu is leading us nowhere. We will turn it so he can see it. That’s why maybe I’m calling for his retirement. The man should just step aside. Yes, he doesn’t have the capacity to do the job.

“The Bola Tinubu that was governor is not the one that is president today. He’s tired. He should be allowed to retire in peace and then go home,” Obi said.

The former Anambra State governor maintained that Tinubu is not leading Nigeria in the right direction and lacks the energy and commitment required to improve the country’s fortunes.
