Key Takeaways

• Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of ignoring Tinubu’s achievements under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
• Onanuga spoke on Monday after Obi told Channels Television on Sunday that Tinubu’s policies amounted to “renewed hopelessness” and pushed many Nigerians into poverty.
• The Presidency told Obi to “get off the high of his rabid movement” and said its communication team toured six geopolitical zones, citing projects like NELFUND.

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has accused the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of intentionally ignoring the achievements of the current administration.

Onanuga, in a statement on Monday, insisted that the Tinubu administration has launched several transformative projects, policies, and programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda since coming into office.

He, however, accused the former Anambra State Governor of ignoring such achievements for political reasons and going ahead to castigate the government.

In response, the presidency said Obi “needs to get off the high of his rabid movement,” as Nigerians are enjoying the benefits of democracy under the current administration and the country is witnessing economic turnaround under  Tinubu’s leadership.

“On Peter Obi’s outburst over the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda: Obi needs to get off the high of his rabid movement. The unmistakable trail of Renewed Hope shimmers across all villages, towns, cities, and local government areas in all six geopolitical zones. The Presidential Communication Team has been touring all zones to see things for themselves, feel the pulse of Nigerians, and conduit feedback to the government.

“If Obi cares, there’s a digital binder full of reports of Nigeria’s economic turnaround under the current administration, inclusive of many transformative projects, policies, and programmes, such as NELFUND, that are impacting Nigerians at the critical cellular level,” Onanuga wrote on 𝕏.
