The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) finds it necessary, once again, to address the increasingly toxic and compulsive outbursts of Mr. Peter Obi, the ever-aggrieved presidential candidate of the Labour Party, whose politics has become a tired exercise in cynicism, envy, and willful ignorance.
Mr. Obi’s latest attack on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s diplomatic engagements abroad is yet another desperate cry for relevance — the rantings of a man still unable to come to terms with his electoral defeat, and now consumed by an obsession to malign a government that is actively working to clean up the mess created by decades of inconsistent leadership, of which he himself was once a part.
It is laughable that Mr. Obi, a man who spent the better part of his post-election months lobbying in foreign capitals, now feigns outrage over international diplomacy simply because he is not the one on the plane. His hypocrisy is only matched by the pettiness and bitterness that has come to define his political brand.
President Tinubu’s travels are not joyrides, as Obi’s social media tantrums would suggest. They are strategic missions to reposition Nigeria on the global stage, attract foreign investment, and forge partnerships that will yield long-term benefits for Nigerians. Unlike Mr. Obi’s headline-chasing populism, President Tinubu governs with purpose, clarity, and global reach.
Even respected global figures like Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala — known for her independence and intellect — have acknowledged that under President Tinubu, Nigeria’s economy is stabilising. But Mr. Obi would rather deny facts, distort narratives, and sabotage progress just to remain politically relevant.
We advise Mr. Obi to look inward. What he sees as national commentary is nothing more than a projection of his political frustrations and chronic bitterness. His obsession with President Tinubu is unhealthy, unproductive, and unbefitting of someone who once aspired to lead a nation.
The Lagos APC urges Nigerians to see through the charade — to recognise Mr. Obi’s consistent negativity for what it is: a self-serving, ego-driven distraction from the real work being done to rebuild Nigeria.
President Tinubu remains undistracted and committed to delivering on his Renewed Hope Agenda. No amount of bitter commentary will derail the progress that has begun — and certainly not from a man stuck in the past and blinded by personal disappointment.
