“You talk about keeping your promises… but you and I know that’s not true,” the presidential aide said.
The Presidency has dismissed Peter Obi’s renewed one-term pledge as insincere, describing it as another instance in what it called his pattern of broken promises and political inconsistency.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said the Labour Party figure’s vow lacked credibility and raised fresh doubts about his suitability to lead a country as complex as Nigeria.
