Bayo Onanuga, an aide to President Tinubu, has made a statement suggesting that Peter Obi should take an active leadership role in the planned protest, similar to what Tinubu and Buhari did in the past. This statement can be seen as a challenge to Peter Obi’s commitment to the cause and his willingness to take a visible stand.
Onanuga’s comment may be interpreted as an attempt to:
1. Shift the focus to Peter Obi’s leadership and accountability.
2. Draw parallels between Obi’s actions and those of his political opponents (Tinubu and Buhari).
3. Imply that Obi should be willing to take the same level of risk and visibility as his opponents if he truly supports the cause.
However, it’s essential to consider the context and potential motivations behind Onanuga’s statement. Is this a genuine call for leadership, or is it a political maneuver to discredit Peter Obi or the protest movement? The situation highlights the complexities of political discourse and the importance of critical thinking in evaluating statements from public figures.
