Tinubu Receives Criticism From Peter Obi Regarding Nnamdi Kanu And National Budget

Peter Obi strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s proposal to implement four national budgets simultaneously, warning it could lead to chaos and financial mismanagement. He emphasized the importance of respecting the rule of law, particularly highlighting the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), whom he urged the government to release as per court orders.

Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State, Obi condemned the ongoing insecurity in Nigeria, stressing that government’s primary responsibility should be the protection of lives and property. He called for enhanced efforts from state governors, advocating for collective action to address the nation’s security challenges. Obi also criticized the lack of coordination between federal and state governments, suggesting a collaborative approach involving former leaders and local security groups.

On social media, Obi further criticized the legislative and executive branches for their plan to implement multiple budgets concurrently, labeling it a blatant disregard for fiscal discipline, transparency, and accountability. He warned that such a move could divert resources from essential projects and worsen the plight of Nigerians already suffering due to economic hardship.
