Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has publicly stated that he is not engaged in any personal conflict with President Bola Tinubu.
Obi made this clarification amid rising political tensions and speculation that his opposition was driven by personal animosity towards the president.
In a recent statement, Obi emphasised that his focus is on the issues affecting Nigerians rather than on individuals.
He reiterated that his campaign is centred on promoting good governance, tackling corruption, and addressing the socio-economic challenges faced by the country.
Obi stressed that political competition should be about offering better policies and leadership rather than personal battles.
Obi also highlighted the importance of unity and collaboration among Nigerians regardless of political differences.
Peter Obi appealed to his supporters and the public to focus on constructive engagement and dialogue to foster national development.
He acknowledged that political contests often involve disagreements but insisted these should not be confused with personal hostility.
The Labour Party presidential candidate acknowledged President Tinubu’s position as the democratically elected leader and affirmed his respect for the office.
Obi clarified that his role as an opposition candidate is to hold the government accountable and provide alternative solutions for Nigeria’s future.
This statement comes at a time when political discourse in the country has been increasingly polarised, with supporters of various parties sometimes escalating tensions. Peter Obi’s message serves as a call for peaceful political rivalry and mutual respect among all stakeholders.
By distancing himself from personal conflicts, Peter Obi aims to keep the focus on policy issues and the broader goal of national progress, encouraging Nigerians to prioritise the country’s welfare above partisan interests.
