Otega Ogra, President Bola Tinubu’s Senior Special Assistant on Digital Engagement, Strategy, and New Media, has criticized Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential contender, for his remarks regarding the President’s visit to Saint Lucia.
According to the ZINGTIE, Obi criticized President Tinubu for taking a “holiday” to Saint Lucia while the country is still experiencing a security crisis.
Ogra reacted quickly, calling Obi an ex-governor who did not make plans for his state’s future.
He asserts that President Tinubu’s visit to Saint Lucia is outside the scope of his knowledge of geopolitics and that Obi is unable to identify a lasting legacy from his two-term administration in Anambra.
The president’s visit to the Caribbean nation is an attempt to put Nigeria where it needs to be, the presidential adviser added.
“Someone who failed to plan for Anambra’s future and can’t point to a sustaining legacy from his admin can certainly not understand the importance of this trip by his President to the Caribbeans. To him, it is a ‘holiday’. To those in the know of geopolitics and where Nigeria needs to be and how it can get there quickly, it is a masterstroke,” he said.
Prior to Ogra’s tweet, the Presidency had responded to Obi’s statement by restating that the trip is a historic diplomatic engagement aimed at strengthening cooperation and rekindling ancestral ties between Nigeria and the Caribbean country.
