The Presidency has criticized Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi over his recent call for the resignation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the remarks as politically motivated and unhelpful.

The reaction follows Obi’s renewed criticism of the Federal Government’s handling of insecurity, economic challenges, and governance issues across the country.

Presidency officials argued that such calls do not reflect the realities of ongoing reforms and security interventions being implemented by the current administration.

According to the government, efforts are underway to strengthen national security architecture, improve economic stability, and address structural challenges inherited from previous administrations.

They maintained that leadership transitions are determined by constitutional processes and not public pressure or political statements.

Supporters of the Presidency said the government remains focused on delivering results rather than engaging in political distractions.

Opposition figures, however, have continued to express concern over rising insecurity and economic hardship, urging stronger and faster policy responses.

Political analysts say the exchange reflects growing tension between the ruling party and opposition groups ahead of future electoral cycles.

Observers note that insecurity and economic conditions remain central issues shaping national political discourse.

The Presidency reaffirmed its commitment to governance reforms and urged political actors to contribute constructively to national development.
