2027: Peter Obi is a trader, he hasn’t offered any alternative — Oshiomhole

Senator Adams Oshiomhole accused Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress’s 2027 presidential candidate, of offering no alternative to Bola Tinubu’s policies. In an interview on Channels Television, he contrasted what he called Obi’s short-term, trader-minded approach with Tinubu’s focus on future generations and argued that the president deserved a second term. Oshiomhole also criticised the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo and the multiple exchange-rate system he associated with Atiku Abubakar. He cited the temporary monthly ₦70,000 transport allowance for workers as evidence that Tinubu cares about ordinary Nigerians, while the Trade Union Congress called for a permanent salary increase instead.
