The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described former presidential candidate Peter Obi as a “complainer-in-chief” following his remarks about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent private vacation.
The party’s spokesperson, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, said Obi’s comments, suggesting a link between the president’s travels and the country’s security issues, reflect political posturing rather than genuine concern for Nigeria.
“Must Peter Obi comment on everything?” Oladejo asked. “His constant criticism turns serious governance matters into social media talking points, seeking attention rather than offering solutions.”
Oladejo stressed that President Tinubu remains fully in control of state affairs even while on vacation, pointing out that modern leaders can stay connected with their security and intelligence teams at all times.
He also warned that Obi’s relentless public critiques risk damaging his credibility as a statesman. According to Oladejo, Obi contributes little beyond soundbites and sermons, offering no clear policy alternatives.
“For us in the APC, under President Tinubu, our focus is on governance, economic recovery, and national security—not political theatre,” he said.
