FCT. Abuja – A prominent opposition leader in Nigeria, Peter Obi, has reflected on President Bola Tinubu’s two years in office so far.

Obi spoke on Tuesday night, April 1, in a video interview monitored by TheTalk.NG. The interview is currently trending on X (formerly Twitter).

The former Anambra state governor said:

“He (Tinubu) is doing well because what he promised people is exactly what he is doing; that he would start and continue from where the previous government stopped. Someone who met the dollar at 300 to 400, and now it is 1,500, he has done fantastic.”

The interview can be watched below:

On whether the Bola Tinubu administration has improved Nigeria, Obi refused to applaud the current government.

He explained:

“When you talk about improvement, they are no things you say; they are things people feel, they are things people see. I have listened to people say jobs are being created—where are the jobs? It’s not the question of saying, ‘Oh, the investors are coming back’; where are they investing?”

Furthermore, the Labour Party (LP) chieftain criticised the state of democracy in Nigeria.

According to him:

“There is no democracy in Nigeria today; Nigeria is not a democratic country. Let’s stop telling ourselves lies.”
