VIDEO: ‘Watch Your Mouth’ – Presidency Warns Peter Obi Over His Comment On Democracy

Mr. Peter Obi, former Presidential Candidate has been warned by the Nigerian Presidency to watch his mouth and stop running the down Tinubu’s administration.

The warning came on the heels of Mr. Obi’s comment at the colloquium of Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, held in Abuja. Obi who spoke on the topic of “‘Democracy failing in Africa”, said Democracy has collapsed in Nigeria.

The former Anambra State Governor recounted how the judiciary helped him to regain his seat after impeachment. Stressed that with the current situation today in Nigeria, such could no longer happen as the judiciary is no longer independent.

He went further to say the democracy, which Nigeria enjoyed before now has collapsed, referencing the issue of emergency rule in Rivers State and the suspension of a democratic elected governor by the President.

Reactions, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu Special Advice on Information and Strategy, warned Peter Obi to be careful not to play to the gallery. He described Obi as a disgruntled politician.

He wrote: “I listened multiple times to former Governor Peter Obi’s statement in this clip, where he claims that democracy has collapsed in Nigeria. His hyperbolic remarks, suited for headlines, have been made without deep reflection and lack a solid logical foundation.

“How can a democracy that has strengthened over the past 26 years be said to have collapsed? Only a discontented and disgruntled Peter, who benefits from the very free speech democracy provides, could perceive such a democratic downfall through his lens.

“If democracy had indeed collapsed, as Peter claims, and we were living under a regime antithetical to democratic principles, he would not have been able to make his comments on Monday at Emeka Ihedioha’s colloquium.

“I will urge him to watch what he says and restrain himself from playing to the gallery.
