The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has criticized the current administration for comparing him to former U.S. President Donald Trump. In a statement by his spokesman, Ibrahim Umar, Obi expressed that the comparison is a sign of the government’s weakness and desperation to tarnish his image.
Obi accused the presidency of using baseless propaganda to discredit him, claiming their actions reflect their failure to address the hardships their policies have imposed on Nigerians. He dismissed the comparison as an attempt to distract the public from the government’s shortcomings and asserted that Nigerians can see through these empty narratives. He further emphasized that his focus remains on a better Nigeria, not on holding power for its sake.
