On June 22, Nigeria's Democratic Congress candidate for 2027, Peter Obi, demanded President Bola Tinubu's resignation, citing unreliable electricity, rising kidnappings, and deepening hardship—echoing Tinubu's own past calls for his predecessor's exit after the 2014 Chibok abductions. The presidency dismissed the remarks as childish, pointing to APC victories in recent Ekiti governorship and bye-elections, plus gains like 3.89% GDP growth in Q1 2026, oil output nearing 1.8 million barrels per day, and $51 billion foreign reserves. On security, over 13,000 terrorists were neutralized last year with deaths down 81% since 2015; power reforms include state generation and prepaid meters, though inflation lingers at 15.9%. The exchange highlights tensions on accountability as 2027 approaches.
