The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly responded to comments made by Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, during a televised interview on Arise Television. In a press statement released on Tuesday, the party dismissed Obi’s criticisms of President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies, calling them baseless and politically motivated.
According to the APC, Obi’s claims of poor economic management under Tinubu are unfounded, as Nigeria is witnessing significant economic reforms and growth. The statement, signed by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, accused Obi of resorting to “opportunistic sensationalization” and failing to acknowledge the progress made by the Tinubu administration.
