| Mr. Peter Obi |
The Peter Obi Media Office has challenged Dele Alake and the APC Presidential Campaign Council to explain what President Bola Tinubu has achieved since taking office, rather than focusing on Peter Obi’s claim that he won the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement signed by Idris Zekeri Jnr, the office’s spokesperson, the media team said Nigerians were more concerned with the impact of the administration’s record on their daily lives.
It pointed to rising living costs, economic hardship, poverty and insecurity, and questioned whether the president’s electoral victory had delivered meaningful benefits to citizens.
“What significance does an electoral victory have if it fails to bring meaningful improvements to the lives of the people?” the statement asked.
The media office said winning an election was not an end in itself, but a responsibility to govern effectively and improve citizens’ welfare.
“Leadership should be judged not by the ability to win or appropriate an election or defend its result in court but by the capacity to transform political authority into concrete outcomes,” the Peter Oni team lectures.
Part of the press statement states: “We recognise that the courts affirmed the official result of the 2023 presidential election. Nevertheless, a legal victory does not amount to successful governance, nor does it place an administration beyond public examination and accountability.
“Instead of devoting so much attention to attacking Peter Obi, we call on Alake to explain the record of the administration he represents. Where is the relief Nigerians were promised? Where is the economic prosperity? Where are the security, affordability, and renewed hope that responsible leadership should provide?
“Nigerians have little interest in perpetual political disputes as their purchasing power declines and the daily struggle to survive becomes more severe.
“Dele Alake should respond to the question Nigerians are asking: What has Tinubu done with his 'electoral victory', if not oversee conditions that many citizens experience as one hardship after another?
“Victory should be measured not by what politicians celebrate at the polls but by what people can celebrate in their homes, workplaces, farms, and communities.
“Nigeria deserves a government that produces results, not one whose defenders are more focused on discrediting the opposition than accounting for the nation's condition.
