Peter Obi Backs Tinubu Govt.

Former presidential candidate of the Labor Party during the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, on Wednesday, threw his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to implement the Oronsaye Report.

He made this known through a post on his X handle in response to several questions from his followers wanting to know his position on the issue.

In his post, Obi made reference to his manifesto during his presidential campaign at Harvard University on the 5th of October, 2022, where he made known his intentions of implementing the Oronsaye Report.

He stated that the implementation of the report would be a big step in the positive direction for Nigeria.

He also stated that being in an opposing party should not warrant “blind and thoughtless criticism whenever the Government makes the right decision.”

He went further to highlight the three major critical components of the Oronsaye report to include: Drastically cutting the cost of governance; eliminating the overlapping of responsibilities to ensure that responsibilities are appropriately domiciled, and increasing efficiency and effectiveness, which will increase productivity.

He advocated that the government must be ready to handle the effect of the decisions they make and provide solutions in order to prevent more people from diving into poverty.

Obi also advised the government to cut down the cost of governance and eliminate the bogus and needless wastage of scarce resources.
