A fierce political clash erupted as Peter Obi urged President Bola Tinubu to resign, drawing parallels with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to step down as Labour leader. Obi argued that worsening economic hardship, insecurity, unreliable power supply and unmet campaign promises justify Tinubu’s exit, recalling that Tinubu once demanded Goodluck Jonathan’s resignation over similar concerns. The Presidency dismissed the call as “childish” and “undemocratic,” insisting Nigeria’s presidential system differs from the UK’s parliamentary model. It highlighted Tinubu’s achievements in economic reforms, security operations, infrastructure development, power sector changes and rising government revenues, while accusing Obi of ignoring progress and distorting facts.
