Reno Omokri, an Ambassador Designate, has accused former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi of lying with statistics over Nigeria’s escalating debt burden. In a sharp rebuttal, Omokri dismissed Obi’s claims that President Bola Tinubu’s administration has mismanaged the nation’s finances.
Omokri stated that Obi, who is set to challenge Tinubu in the 2027 general elections under the National Democratic Congress, deliberately distorted debt figures to score political points. He urged Nigerians to scrutinize the data carefully rather than accept opposition narratives at face value.
The exchange underscores the growing political tensions ahead of the next election cycle, with both camps trading accusations over economic management. The debt debate remains a hot-button issue as Nigeria grapples with rising public borrowing.
