APC dismisses Obi as campaign demands Tinubu live debate

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), led by President Bola Tinubu, has dismissed criticisms from Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, regarding Tinubu's leadership and economic management. Obi accused Tinubu of failing to address Nigeria's worsening economic and security crises, suggesting he lacks the capacity to lead effectively. In response, APC supporters have condemned Obi's remarks, which were made during an interview on Channels Television. Obi's campaign spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, called on Tinubu to engage in a live televised debate to defend his administration's record, arguing that Tinubu should directly address the concerns raised by Obi rather than relying on surrogates. Tanko emphasized that Obi's claims highlight critical issues such as insecurity, hunger, and educational decline, which the administration has failed to resolve.
