The Presidency has reacted to recent comments by Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, dismissing his criticism of the impact of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, in a post on X on Monday, said Obi’s assessment of the administration was out of touch with developments across the country.
According to Onanuga, the Tinubu administration’s policies and programmes are producing visible results in communities across the six geopolitical zones.
‘Obi needs to get off the high of his rabid movement. The unmistakable trail of Renewed Hope shimmers across all villages, towns, cities, and local government areas in all six geopolitical zones,’ he wrote.
He explained that the Presidential Communications Team had been touring the country to independently assess the implementation and impact of government policies while gathering feedback from Nigerians.
‘The Presidential Communication Team has been touring all zones to see things for themselves, feel the pulse of Nigerians, and conduit feedback to the government,’ Onanuga stated.
The presidential spokesman further maintained that there was documented evidence of the administration’s economic reforms and development initiatives.
‘If Obi cares, there’s a digital binder full of reports of Nigeria’s economic turnaround under the current administration, inclusive of many transformative projects, policies, and programmes, such as NELFUND, that are impacting Nigerians at the critical cellular level,’ he added.
