Nigeria's opposition leader, Obi, criticized President Tinubu's economic policies during a rally in Abuja, accusing the administration of failing to show progress despite removing subsidies and borrowing more money. Obi, a presidential candidate for the New Democratic Congress, emphasized that the government's actions have not led to tangible benefits for the public.
He promised to redirect the savings from subsidy removal toward agriculture, small and medium enterprises, and job creation if elected. Obi also pledged a decisive campaign against insecurity and rejected ransom payments for kidnapped citizens. His remarks came as the ruling party continues to face pressure over economic challenges and rising public discontent.
The rally in Abuja highlighted growing tensions within Nigeria's political landscape, with opposition figures challenging the government's economic strategies. With elections approaching, the debate over economic management is expected to intensify in the coming months.
