The presidency has challenged Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party to come out and lead the nationwide protest scheduled to commence on 1 August like other opposition leaders have done in the past.
Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the special adviser to the President threw the challenge to Obi after the former Anambra State Governor endorsed the nationwide protest on Sunday.
Onanuga challenged him to copy the example of former President Muhammadu Buhari and his successor, Bola Tinubu who led protests as opposition leaders, instead playing ‘the master puppeteer; behind the scene.
Onanuga said in a short post on his X handle:
“Now that Peter Obi has come out to endorse the planned protest by his supporters, he should do what President Tinubu and former President Buhari did in the past, by coming out openly to lead the protesters. That is what leadership is about.
“Not playing the master puppeteer behind the scene. He should be in the forefront”.
