In a statement on his social media account on Friday night, Onanuga accused Obi of being quick to share unverified information about President Bola Tinubu and Nigeria while remaining silent on significant developments.

He emphasized that a responsible opposition should sincerely acknowledge their political opponents when they achieve notable milestones. Onanuga urged the former Anambra governor to speak up and recognize Tinubu’s efforts in advancing Nigeria.

He stated, “Why is Peter Obi silent?

“More than 36 hours after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling granting financial autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local councils, Mr. Obi, the defeated Labour Party candidate, has yet to comment on this historic judgment. His silence reinforces the perception that he is quick to tweet unverified news about the Tinubu administration.

“A true opposition statesman should be honest enough to commend a political opponent for their significant actions. The Tinubu administration has revitalized our local councils through legal means. Even Atiku Abubakar has reluctantly acknowledged this. Peter must break his silence and recognize that President Tinubu is working towards a greater Nigeria.”
