Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe of Abia South has accused President Bola Tinubu of being incompetent in leading the government, emphasizing that Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, will do better.

Abaribe revealed that Tinubu’s government had evolved into what he called the “Kabiyesi” government.

During a Monday night appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the politician revealed this.

According to Abaribe: “There are many Nigerians who are democrats who can run this country like Peter Obi and he will be my candidate. We are all headed somewhere and it’s when we get there that we will all cross that hurdle.

“The point is not him but the way the whole government has turned into a Kabiyesi government, so the president can do no wrong, anything he says we agree.

“That’s not how to run a government; you run a government by people challenging your view. Right now, any view challenging the view of the government is seen as treason.”

Abaribe criticized Tinubu’s family’s role in managing his government, emphasizing that Nigeria is a democratic nation rather than a monarchy.

He said: “But the point is when you look at somebody’s antecedents, how the person carried himself; throughout when Peter Obi was governor, did you ever hear about his children? Did you ever hear about his wife?

“No, this is a country not a monarch, this is a democracy. You don’t put your family in the public, you don’t let them continue to use State resources, it’s never done.”

Abaribe denied that he had sang the well-known song “on your mandate” in honor of Tinubu.

He added: “I don’t think the people standing on the mandate really enjoy standing on the mandate, I have never sang and I will never sing it.

“When they bring the budget to the National Assembly, we stand up for the Nigerian national anthem and if people decide to play the mandate song, check where I stay, I sit down, I don’t follow them.”
