Ologun Calls Obi’s Demand for Tinubu’s Resignation Merely a Political Stance

Ayodeji Ologun of the Centre for Responsive Governance says Peter Obi’s call for President Tinubu to resign reflects a political position rather than popular will. He argues that only voters at the ballot box can decide a president’s tenure and that voluntary resignations by elected heads of state are uncommon globally. Ologun warned against comparing Nigeria’s presidential system with the UK’s parliamentary model, noting that ministers often step down in parliamentary democracies while presidents rarely do. He urged Nigerians to base assessments of any administration on verified data, security outcomes, and objective analysis rather than personal opinions or unverified claims. He also questioned the reliability of some statistics presented by Obi and highlighted that economic evaluations of the Tinubu government vary among experts and international bodies. Ultimately, Ologun stressed that protecting lives and property remains the administration’s core constitutional duty.
