‘This Is Good News Peter Obi, Atiku Don’t Want To Hear’ – Presidency Hails Nigeria’s Surging Foreign Reserves
The presidency has claimed that the 2027 presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and other opposition parties, do not want to hear the good news on Nigeria’s improved foreign reserves.
Naijaonpoint reports that the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Bayo Onanuga, made this known in a post via his 𝕏 handle on Saturday.
Onanuga said Nigeria’s foreign reserves rose to $51.04 billion on June 18, noting it was the highest level in 17 years, but the opposition did not commend the development under President Tinubu.
According to Onanuga, the reserves stood at $50.5 billion in January 2009.
He added that Atiku, Peter Obi and other opposition candidates keep ignoring Tinubu’s solid achievements.
He said, “Nigeria’s foreign reserves rose to $51.04 billion on June 18, the highest level in 17 years. In January 2009, the reserves stood at $50.5 billion.
“This is the good news Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar and other presidential candidates don’t want to hear.
“As far as they are concerned, President Tinubu has done nothing since he came to office.
“Yet stubborn facts of the administration’s solid achievements keep hitting them in the face.”
In other news, former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, Professor Usman Yusuf, has said Peter Obi is not sellable in the North.
Yusuf stated this during an interview with DCL English, saying Obi would face serious questions from northern voters.
“Peter Obi is not sellable in the North, and this is the honest truth; they don’t want me saying that, but I don’t know how to lie. Peter Obi cannot penetrate the North; that’s the honest truth,” Yusuf said.
He said the major contenders ahead of the 2027 election included President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Obi of the NDC.
Yusuf said Obi’s tenure as Anambra State governor and his position on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) would be scrutinised.
