President tinubu is now overfeeding Nigerians with wrong Statistics from wrong inflation figures and now GDP debating -Peter Obi
Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, has indeed criticized President Bola Tinubu, accusing him of failing to deliver on his campaign promises, particularly in addressing hunger and economic challenges. Obi claims Tinubu is misrepresenting Nigeria's economic realities by manipulating statistics, including unemployment figures, inflation rates, and GDP rebasing, to paint a false picture of the country's economic situation ¹.

*Key Points of Obi's Criticism:*

- *Failure to Deliver on Promises*: Obi highlighted that Tinubu's administration has not fulfilled its promise to put food on Nigerians' tables, with Nigeria now classified as one of the hungriest nations globally.
- *Manipulation of Statistics*: Obi accused Tinubu of using wrong statistics to present a positive spin on the country's deteriorating economic conditions, including inaccurate unemployment and inflation figures.
- *GDP Rebasing*: Obi dismissed the recent GDP rebasing as "window dressing" meant to mask the reality of deepening poverty and economic hardship.

*Obi's Vision for Governance:*

- *Sincerity and Competence*: Obi emphasized that effective governance requires sincerity of purpose, character, competence, capacity, and compassion.
- *Accountability and Empathy*: He called for transparent leadership that prioritizes the welfare of Nigerians and addresses the country's challenges with empathy ² ¹ ³.

The criticism has sparked debate, with some analysts arguing that the administration's economic reforms are necessary for long-term stability, despite current hardships. Others echo Obi's concerns, questioning the disconnect between GDP growth and everyday living conditions ².
