President Bola Tinubu has publicly criticised former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Vice‑President Atiku Abubakar over their political affiliations, questioning their leadership credentials as the 2027 general elections approach.
In a recent statement, Tinubu highlighted the perceived inconsistencies in Obi’s and Atiku’s political histories, suggesting that their past associations may undermine their suitability for national leadership roles.
Both Obi and Atiku have long been prominent figures in Nigerian politics. Obi served as governor of Anambra State, while Atiku held the vice‑presidency under President Olusegun Obasanjo.
As the 2027 election cycle draws nearer, Tinubu’s remarks add to the growing scrutiny of potential candidates’ past affiliations and record of service.
