Peter Obi tells Tinubu: 'Go home if you cannot deliver'

Peter Obi, NDC chieftain and former LP presidential candidate, has publicly urged President Bola Tinubu to retire if he cannot deliver dividend of democracy to Nigerians. Obi made this direct challenge during the NDC aspirants dinner in Abuja on May 27, 2026. 'The time for excuses have passed. If you cannot work now, go home,' stated Obi, emphasizing that the presidency requires 'competent, passion capacity, commitment and character to lead.' This marks a significant escalation in political rhetoric as Nigeria approaches the 2027 election cycle. The former Labour Party member, who recently joined NDC along with Rabi'u Kwankwaso after leaving ADC over internal divisions, appears to be positioning himself as a direct alternative to the current administration. The blunt criticism suggests the opposition is adopting a more confrontational strategy ahead of the next elections.
