Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has called on President Bola Tinubu to demonstrate leadership and address the nation amidst the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests.
In an interview with Arise TV, Obi emphasized the importance of peaceful protests, urging demonstrators to operate within the law. He stressed that President Tinubu, as the elected leader, holds the mandate of the people and must show leadership during this critical period.
Obi stated, “My message is first to the protesters, whatever they are doing must be within the ambit of the law… I want people to stay within the law even when they make their legitimate demands… My appeal at this period is for the President to address the nation. He is the person that is elected. He is the person that is holding the mandate of the people.”
Obi also denied claims of leading a protest in Abuja, confirming his presence in Onitsha, Anambra State, since yesterday. “As you can see, I’m here in Onitsha, there is no way I could have been in Abuja and Onitsha simultaneously,” he clarified.
