Coalition: Tinubu camp in distress, launches attack on Obi

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Communications and Strategy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu’s administration appears to be in serious distress following the adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the official political vehicle for the opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Recall that Obi while declaring support for the coalition stressed that the coalition’s guiding principle would be to always put Nigerians first.

According to the former governor of Anambra State, the decision to back the ADC was rooted in a shared commitment to deliver competent, compassionate, and people-focused leadership.

But the presidency which could not hold back it’s frustration through Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, lashed out at Peter Obi, describing him as a hypocrite for criticising President Bola Tinubu’s offer of scholarships to St Lucia students.

Though, this is coming after Obi took a swipe at Mr Tinubu for abandoning Nigerian out-of-school children to offer scholarships to St Lucia students.

Shortly after Obi berated Tinubu for offering scholarships to St Lucia students while schools are on strike in the Federal Capital Territory and about 20 million out-of-school children roam the streets in Nigeria, an X user, @Riddwane, posted a photo of Mr Obi donating funds to the Haitian government in 2010.

“Peter Obi, this was you in Haiti in 2010, where you donated Anambra money to rebuild a country whose people never knew Obi of Onitsha.

“You took this action during the 13-month doctors’ strike that paralysed healthcare in your state. Have you ever practised what you preach?” @Riddwane posted.

Amplifying @Riddwanne’s message, Mr Onanuga reposted it, saying, “Bitter Peter is a hypocrite of the worst order.”
