He could not confront erosion,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I confronted the Atlantic Ocean, I tamed it for you. Umo Eno confronted the erosion in Akwa Ibom, and it\u2019s working for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President argued that Obi lacked the leadership qualities required to govern the country, citing his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and subsequent move to the NDC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey lack leadership character and traits,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He questioned Obi\u2019s decision to leave the PDP after previously being associated with the party, describing the move as evidence of a lack of political leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf a man that once upon a time was a baby of PDP became a father of PDP and because of a little inconvenience he ran away from that party and formed a dangerous aide-de-camp in another party, is that a leadership trait? Is that a leadership character?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tinubu further challenged Obi\u2019s presidential ambition, telling supporters that the former Anambra governor was not fit to lead the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd he wants you to vote for him; it\u2019s not for banana. He cannot put a house in order,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rally formed part of Tinubu\u2019s visit to Akwa Ibom, where he inaugurated projects executed by the Eno administration before attending the APC political gathering.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/2027-obi-couldnt-confront-anambras-erosion-lacks-leadership-traits-tinubu\/\">2027: Obi couldn\u2019t confront Anambra\u2019s erosion, he lacks leadership traits  \u2014  Tinubu<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Bola Tinubu has criticised the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, over his handling of erosion in Anambra State, questioning his leadership qualities ahead of&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11120\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
