Senator Adams Oshiomhole says Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obiโs performance in the 2023 election was driven largely by public frustration rather than enduring political strength.
ย
The APC senator argued that the cash scarcity and fuel crisis preceding the 2023 election created widespread anger among Nigerians, which translated into protest votes.
ย
He blamed the policies introduced during the final months of former President Muhammadu Buhariโs administration for worsening public hardship.
ย
According to Oshiomhole, those conditions no longer exist, making it unlikely that Obi could replicate his previous electoral performance.
ย
He also criticised Obiโs economic outlook, describing him as a trader focused on short-term gains rather than long-term national development.
ย
Oshiomhole maintained that President Tinubuโs infrastructure agenda demonstrates a stronger commitment to Nigeriaโs future
