Tinubu’s Aide Fires Peter Obi

The Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Digital and New Media, Otega Ogra, has taken a swipe at Labour Party’s Peter Obi, accusing him of failing to plan for Anambra’s future.

He said Obi lacked the capacity to understand the President’s recent diplomatic trip to the Caribbean.

In a Tuesday post shared on X, Ogra wrote, ”Someone who failed to plan for Anambra’s future and can’t point to a sustaining legacy from his admin can certainly not understand the importance of this trip by his President to the Caribbeans.

“To him, it is a ‘holiday’. To those in the know of geopolitics and where Nigeria needs to be and how it can get there quickly, it is a masterstroke.
Next!”

Ogra’s comment comes in reponse to criticism by Obi, who on Saturday described Tinubu’s visit to Saint Lucia and Brazil for the BRICS summit as a misplaced priority.

Obi had written, ”This is a President going for leisure when he couldn’t visit Minna, Niger State where over two hundred were lost and over 700 persons still missing in a flood natural disaster.

“I told the person who drew my attention to the Caribbean story that it cannot be true and that the President is just coming back from a holiday in Lagos.

“I didn’t want to believe that anybody in the position of authority, more so the President… would contemplate a leisure trip at this time.”
