Peter Obi Rebukes Presidency for Comparing Him to Trump
Presidential candidate Peter Obi has criticized the Presidency for likening him to former US President Donald Trump, calling it a “glaring sign of weakness” and “desperation.” Obi’s spokesman, Ibrahim Umar, stated that the comparison is an attempt to discredit Obi and divert attention from the government’s failures.
The statement read: “Desperate propagandists and presidential enablers are indulging in distortion of facts to destroy Obi’s impeccable image… Nigerians are not gullible to be fooled by such empty propaganda.”
Obi’s team argued that the comparison is baseless, as Obi is a man of integrity, transparency, and people-focused policies, unlike Trump. They also pointed out the hypocrisy of the Presidency, which has failed to present its policies and leader to the public, yet tries to malign Obi.
The statement concluded: “Obi remains a man who has not only become the conscience of the people but also their hope for a new and egalitarian democracy… We know the intention of these trolls and spin doctors, who are envious of the rising profile of our Principal.”
