APC hits Peter Obi after daring Tinubu to take trips by road, visit Nigerian hospitals

News Update

THE All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election as a prophet of doom.

The ruling party’s spokesperson, Felix Morka, made this known in a statement on Thursday.

This comes as Peter Obi, in a press conference on Thursday, said Nigeria’s economic and security challenges under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the past 18 months have worsened.

Obi, the former Anambra State Governor, dared Tinubu to visit Nigerian hospitals and take short trips to see how deteriorated the situation has become.

Reacting, APC disagreed with Obi, noting that in the past months, the country’s economy has made progress.

According to APC, the claims by Peter Obi on the country’s economy and security are misleading and intended to score cheap political points.

“While Nigerians celebrated the new year with hope for a more glorious 2025, Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, was seemingly stuck in a replay of his jangling, gloom-ridden wishlist for our country.

“Obi’s New Year message, in which he claimed that our dear country’s political, economic, and security situation is worsening daily, is misleading and appears intended to score cheap political points.

“This claim, at a time when all indicators show that our country is rebounding in significant measure across all sectors, casts Obi, squarely, as Nigeria’s leading doomsayer,” APC stated.
