FCT, Abuja – As Nigerians look forward to the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Peter Obi to stop “inflaming passion and mobilising outrage” against the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a statement on Tuesday evening, July 23, signed by Barrister Felix Morka, its official spokesperson, the ruling party said it is impossible for President Tinubu to transform Nigeria in one year.
The APC’s reaction came 24 hours after Obi highlighted Nigeria’s economic woes.
The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate expressed deep worry over the country’s economic trajectory since 2015, saying the gross domestic product (GDP) was about 6.72% for almost 16 years from 1999 before it declined to 2.79%.
But the APC responded furiously on Tuesday, July 23.
The APC’s statement partly reads:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that Obi said he has no plans to join other politicians to form a mega party to oust the APC.
The LP chieftain said he is only concerned about how to pull people out of poverty.
