Nigerian presidential hopeful Peter Obi has accused incumbent President Bola Tinubu of amassing nearly $100 billion in debt without providing an accounting of its usage. During a rally in Bayelsa state, Obi called for Nigerians to reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) government and replace Tinubu with a leader capable of running the country.
Obi claimed that Tinubu lacks the energy and capacity to effectively govern Nigeria, asserting that the nation is plagued by widespread poverty and hunger. He highlighted the dire state of healthcare, education, and employment opportunities in the country, stating that if you become ill in Nigeria, it's preferable to pray at a church rather than seek medical treatment.

Concerning the massive borrowing, Obi demanded that Tinubu explain how the money was spent over the past three years, questioning the president's perceived busyness with overseas trips while neglecting domestic affairs.
