Former presidential candidate Peter Obi took to his official X handle on Wednesday to admonish those ridiculing President Bola Tinubu’s recent fall, emphasizing that such an incident could happen to anyone.
Peter Obi expressed his well wishes for the President’s recovery and urged people to focus on the issues that matter for Nigeria’s progress.
In a series of posts, Obi wrote, “We achieve nothing by gloating about an accident that could well happen to any of us… Let us stay focused on the issues that will lead to a new Nigeria.”
He emphasized the importance of remembering our shared humanity and the need for compassion, empathy, and unity in the pursuit of a brighter future for Nigeria.
Obi’s statement comes as a call for civility and decency in the political landscape, encouraging people to rise above partisan differences and show empathy for the President’s moment of vulnerability.
