Supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have rejected recent calls by Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi for the President to resign, describing the demand as misplaced and inconsistent with Nigeria’s constitutional system of government.
They argued that Nigeria operates a presidential system with fixed electoral terms, noting that the legitimacy of any administration is ultimately determined through elections and the democratic process.
The supporters pointed to recent electoral victories recorded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in governorship and senatorial contests as evidence of continued public support for President Tinubu and the ruling party.
On security, they maintained that the administration has recorded progress through intensified military operations, the rescue of kidnapped victims, the neutralisation of criminal elements, and increased investment in security infrastructure and technology.
They also highlighted economic reforms undertaken by the administration, including measures aimed at stabilising public finances, boosting revenue generation, attracting investment, and improving oil production levels.
According to them, recent economic indicators, including growth in government revenue, increased foreign reserves, higher crude oil output, and improved investor confidence, demonstrate positive outcomes from the administration’s reform agenda.
The remarks come amid ongoing political debates over the performance of the Tinubu administration and growing discussions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
