2027: Tinubu tackles Obi, Atiku over leadership records

President Bola Tinubu has criticized former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar over their political affiliations and leadership records ahead of the 2027 general elections. During his visit to Akwa Ibom State, Tinubu questioned Obi's ability to tackle erosion in Anambra State, contrasting it with his own claim of confronting the Atlantic Ocean during his tenure as Lagos governor.

Tinubu also accused Atiku of abandoning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to a "little inconvenience," questioning his leadership traits and character. Both Obi, who ran as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and Atiku, who joined the ADC, finished second and third respectively in the 2023 presidential election.
