During a visit to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi sarcastically criticized President Bola Tinubu for fulfilling his pledge to continue the policies of the previous administration, noting that key economic indicators like fuel price, food price and exchange rates have drastically multiplied under his watch. Comparing Nigeria’s poor economic trajectory over the past decade featuring a steep decline in gross domestic product and per capital income with Indonesia’s remarkable growth, Obi stressed the urgent need to prioritize competence and capacity over ethnic and religious politics. Both leaders emphasized a shared commitment to building a united front focused on addressing the nation's severe economic challenges, reviving industries, and improving the livelihoods of ordinary citizens.
