Presidency's aide claims Obi angers at Nigeria's progress over policy reversals

Tinubu's aide Daniel Bwala claims Peter Obi gets angry whenever Nigeria makes progress, citing Obi's alleged reversals on three key policies. According to Bwala's X post, Obi previously supported removing fuel subsidies (now implemented), establishing state police (done), and unifying foreign exchange rates (achieved) - but now opposes these very measures. Bwala wondered why Obi would reject policies he once advocated, suggesting inconsistency.

This exchange reflects the familiar pattern where ruling parties accuse opposition of opposing national advancement, especially ahead of elections. For citizens evaluating these claims, the substance matters more than the rhetoric: Did fuel subsidy removal actually ease or worsen living costs? Has state police improved security in your area? Did forex unification stabilize prices or create new challenges? Rather than trading accusations, focusing on real-world impact helps cut through political noise.
