The presidency has tackled the 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi over his silence to the Supreme Court’s judgement granting financial autonomy to local governments.
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, charged Obi to act like Atiku Abubakar by commenting on the epochal judgement and admitting that the president is making Nigeria great.
Posting on his X page, Onanuga said a good opposition should be able to commend its opponent.
He wrote: “Why is Peter Obi silent?
“More than 36 hours after the Supreme Court gave a landmark ruling, granting financial autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local councils, Mr. Peter Obi, the defeated Labour Party candidate, has yet to utter a word on the epochal judgment.
“His silence confirms the belief that he is always quick to tweet unverified news about the Tinubu administration or our country.
