Onanuga Attacks Obi For Saying He Will Fix Nigeria In 4 yrs If Elected As President In 2027

The Special adviser to the president on information and strategy, has attacked the former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate , Peter Obi, over his vow to serve only one term if elected as president in 2027, just as he also accused him of hypocrisy and dishonesty for the claim, reports Business Today NG.
Onanuga in a response to Obi’s Sunday statement posted on X handle, said Obi’svow lacked credibility, citing his political history.
“Peter Obi, the liar, is exposed again “You’re neither a Mandela nor a Lincoln or a Kennedy. You sound as if you have never held an elected office before. You sought re-election as Anambra Governor in 2010 and narrowly won courtesy of a divided opposition. Why didn’t you walk away after only one term in office?”,” Onanuga said.
Onanuga dismissed the former Anambra governor’s claims of integrity and effective leadership, arguing that his record as a two-term governor of Anambra State did not reflect the transformational leadership he now promises.
“Meanwhile after serving two terms, did Anambra look like a state that has been transformed? If you couldn’t transform a small Anambra after 8 years, is there a guarantee that you’ll do anything significant under 4 years as President of a complex and complicated Nigeria?” he asked.
He also took a swipe at Obi’s assertion that he always kept his word, saying, “You talk about keeping your promises or your vow being your bond, but you and I know that’s not true. You have broken previous promises and usually lie with reckless abandon, sometimes needlessly.”
Onanuga recalled Obi’s defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), despite earlier assurances that he would remain in the party.
“You said you won’t leave APGA but you left (the reason for your exit is immaterial because if we’re to make allowance for excuses, you’ll definitely have an excuse to break your one-term vow),” he said. “You talk about trust, but how do you expect people to trust someone who can’t keep a simple promise not to leave a political party?”
