  "account": "Financial commentator Gehgeh has urged President Bola Tinubu to relinquish the presidency after completing his first term, asserting that the incumbent has nothing further to contribute to the nation. In a recent video, Gehgeh criticized Tinubu's leadership, dismissed the return of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and expressed his preference for Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.\n\nTinubu, whom Gehgeh referred to as a father figure, was advised to emulate former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who has since moved on to farming. Gehgeh urged Tinubu to learn from Obasanjo's example, stating, \"Leave Nigerians alone, you don old.\"\n\nThe commentator accused Tinubu of being absent when Nigeria faced critical issues, noting that the president frequently traveled abroad while citizens struggled with hardship. Gehgeh characterized Tinubu's leadership as reactive, with the president appearing for photographs and videos but absent when urgent national matters required attention.\n\nGehgeh firmly stated that Tinubu should not seek another term, asserting, \"Tinubu, you rule for four years, nothing more you can give, leave there.\" Regarding Atiku, Gehgeh emphasized that Nigerians had already experienced his leadership during his tenure as vice president under Obasanjo, and they do not wish for another opportunity for him to rule.\n\nWhile describing Obi as an \"online president,\" Gehgeh still favored voting for him over supporting Tinubu or Atiku.

Gehgeh called on Nigerians to give Obi the chance to lead, adding that he would relocate to Ghana if Obi failed to secure the presidency.",
