Key Takeaways

  • Bayo Onanuga made the comments while reacting to a video of Peter Obi’s views on fuel subsidy removal and the Tinubu government’s handling of proceeds.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has taken a swipe at Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi, calling him clueless and overhyped.

In a short statement on his 𝕏 account on Saturday, Onanuga added that Obi failed as Governor of Anambra State.

The presidential media aide added that the NDC candidate lacks the required qualities to contest Nigeria’s presidency, but his supporters think he can perform miracles.

Naija News reports that Onanuga made the submission while reacting to a video on Peter Obi’s position on fuel subsidy removal by the Tinubu government and the management of the proceeds.

According to him, Obi changes positions on policies and issues like a chameleon and always tilts toward the views of his social media supporters.

“Peter Obi is simply overhyped and overrated. The guy is clueless. As Anambra governor, he was a spectacular failure. Now gunning for a higher office, his supporters think he can perform a miracle. How? Governance is not by magic. A wannabe national leader must have a governance pedigree, which Peter lacks. He changes his positions like a chameleon. And his worldview is dictated by his mob on social media,” Onanuga wrote.

    Bayo, l see you as a learned man but you see this your comment you messed up big time so Balablue has clue just because you and his inner caucus has caged d mugu and running and stealing Nigeria wealth you think all is well. The day of reckoning is coming my brother.

  2. Bayo Onanuga is the most petty, arrogant, tribalistic and mischievous Presidential spokesperson of all time.The man is just a bigot with penchant for hatred of a better candidate than his boss.He knows very well Peter Obi is far better than Tinubu in all areas, not just as a governor but Presidential status.Bayo thinks being arrogant and loquacious is all it takes to be a Presidential Spokesperson.Let Tinubu compares his achievements as a governor with Peter Obi vis a vis each state’s revenue(both Federal Allocations and IGT) and see if that his running mouth won’t shut up forever.He is just playing to the gallery to remain relevant and it’s a matter of time.
