The Presidency says that they are not currently focusing on or concerned about Peter Obi and obedients.
Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in an interview emphasized that the administration remains focused and undeterred, dismissing any suggestions of distraction. He also criticized the former Anambra governor for injecting divisive religious and ethnic elements into politics, describing it as detrimental.
He said: “As of now, we are busy with governance and we don’t want our attention diverted from the focus of what the government is trying to do. We are very busy, we’re not even looking at them now.”
“What I know about the campaign of Obi was that for the first time in a very long while in our country, we had a candidate who was inflaming ethnic passion and that was the way the election went at that time, he was inflaming ethnic and religious passions, bringing two dangerous things to our politics; ethnicity and religion. That was what he did and those things were dangerous to our politics.”
In response to whether he thinks certain adversaries are aiming to deliberately undermine the Tinubu administration, the Presidential spokesman stated:“Of course, it is very clear unless people are not perceptive. Up till now, some are still writing that Bola Tinubu stole the presidency and some people are saying that the man who came third actually won the election, and they are very unapologetic about that.
“How could somebody who came third how could he have won that election? You can even see when they were talking about the naira, some people were just happy that the Naira was going downhill. You can trace them. People who are saying so are members of the Obidient movement.”
