Tinubu Fires Back at Peter Obi: "Watch Your Words, Stop Undermining My Government!"

The stage was set. The political battlefield, drawn.

In one corner stood Peter Obi, his voice steady, his accusations sharp as a blade. He had spoken, not in whispers, but in thunderclaps—declaring democracy in Nigeria had crumbled, crushed beneath the weight of corruption. His words rippled across the nation, sparking debates in beer parlors, markets, and high halls of power.

But no accusation goes unanswered in the arena of politics.

From the corridors of Aso Rock came the counterstrike. President Bola Tinubu, through his firebrand spokesman Bayo Onanuga, sent a warning wrapped in iron: "Watch your words. Stop undermining my government!"

The air thickened. The tension rose.

Onanuga, wielding words like arrows, dismissed Obi’s claims as baseless, exaggerated, the cries of a man "discontented and disgruntled." His tone was sharp, his stance unyielding. "If democracy had collapsed, would he be free to speak so boldly?" he challenged.

The timing was no coincidence. Obi had made his damning remarks at a high-profile colloquium hosted by Emeka Ihedioha, a gathering where even former President Olusegun Obasanjo had thrown his own darts at Tinubu’s administration.

Was this a rebellion in the making? A crack in the foundation of power? Or just another episode in Nigeria’s ever-unfolding political drama?

The nation watched. The people whispered. And the battle of words raged on.
