Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, pointedly accused Obi of stoking religious and ethnic tensions during the electoral campaign.

Speaking on Mic On with Seun Okinbaloye, Onanuga emphasized that Tinubu’s administration remains steadfast in its focus on governance and is not preoccupied with Obi and his supporters, known as the Obidients.

He asserted, “We are busy with governance and we don’t want our attention diverted from the focus of what the government is trying to do. We are very busy, we’re not even looking at them now.”

Onanuga specifically highlighted Obi’s campaign tactics, alleging that Obi inflamed ethnic and religious sentiments, which he deemed perilous for Nigerian politics. According to him, Obi’s actions introduced divisive elements that posed a threat to the political landscape.

The statement from the Presidency reflects a stance of disapproval towards the perceived injection of ethnicity and religion into political discourse by Obi, signaling a desire for a more unified and issue-focused approach to governance.

While the accusations are significant, they also underscore the complexities and challenges inherent in Nigeria’s political landscape, where issues of identity and representation often intersect with broader governance concerns.
