Peter Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, has told the Nigerian President, Bola Tinubu to lead from the front by cutting the cost of governance.

Obi spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday where he spoke on the state of the nation.

According to Obi, the President should treat himself at local hospitals and do well to visit educational institutions in the country to ascertain the level of development in the nation’s educational and healthcare sectors.

Obi said the level of corruption in the country remained high, just as the cost of governance, which he said has led to an astronomical increase in public debt under the Tinubu administration.

The former presidential candidate pointed out that borrowings are still not tied to projects, adding that there should have been massive development of the country as against the current template of borrowing for consumption.

The LP chieftain alleged that “government officials willfully mismanaged public funds in 2024 through incessant foreign trips”.

He said Tinubu should travel by road “once in a while to feel the deplorable state of public roads”.

Obi recalled that while at the helms of affairs in Anambra State, he took the then President Olusegun Obasanjo from Awka to Onitsha by road which led to the award of the contract for the road.

Obi condemned the endemic poverty that has led to stampedes for palliatives in parts of the country, noting that the new minimum wage has not solved the hunger crisis in the land.

He also described the security situation in the country as unfortunate, saying “Nigerians die needlessly due to banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping.”

Peter Obi said that Tinubu should stop seeing himself as the governor of Lagos State, noting that he should spend festive seasons in other parts of the country to feel the pain of the people.
