Obi Faces Presidency’s Criticism Over Alleged Inconsistency

Mr. Peter Obi, a well-known member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former governor of Anambra State, has come under fire from the presidency for alleged political inconsistencies and “desperation for power.”

In a post on X, Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Advisor on Information and Strategy, voiced the disapproval.

Onanuga was responding to a widely shared video in which Obi seemed to identify with political individuals he had previously denounced.

Onanuga claims that Obi has drastically changed his mind by now calling politicians who he previously referred to as the “structure of criminality” leaders.

He claimed that Obi’s credibility and dedication to the values he once supported were seriously called into doubt by this change.

Obi acknowledged individuals like David Mark, Nasir El-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, Atiku Abubakar, and Rotimi Amaechi as important political leaders in the video and associated comments.

The Presidency pointed out that Obi’s posture during the previous election cycle, when he centered his campaign on separating himself from what he described as a corrupt and discredited political elite, stands in stark contrast to this position.

According to Onanuga, Obi’s most recent comments contradict that prior story and instead highlight a pattern of shifting positions motivated by political aspirations.

He claimed that supporting those who have been denounced in the past shows a readiness to change one’s mind when one’s beliefs no longer serve one’s political objectives.

Additionally, Obi’s treatment of his followers was criticized by the Presidency, which suggested that his latest remarks imply that people who trusted his prior message were duped.

Onanuga claims that the occurrence confirms worries that Obi is inconsistent in his ideology, changing his position in response to coalitions and current political circumstances.

The Presidency came to the conclusion that Obi’s political style lacks the consistency and clarity necessary for effective leadership.

The message states “Peter Obi has set a new record for political desperation. He has demonstrated in his quest for the president that he is an unprincipled politician who is prepared to “eat his own vomit,” retract his statements, and discard his platform if it is no longer a crucial component of his political calculations.

He is eager to associate with anyone in his desperate politics, even those he had previously ridiculed. He has the ability to change his mind about anything, including his political beliefs.

He most definitely lacks the qualities of a trustworthy political leader. Nobody can be certain of his position on any matter. He follows the trends on X and the wind.

“Obi has now thrown his supporters under the bus, as this video clip shows, further highlighting his series of contradictions and confusion.”
