The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDC), Peter Obi, has supported recent remarks made by the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye, that President Bola Tinubu has done his best on security.
He has however called on Tinubu to “go home and rest.”
Obi made the remarks during a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo uploaded on YouTube on Thursday while responding to a question on why Nigerians should support his presidential ambition instead of backing another opposition candidate.
Asked why he should be elected, Obi said Nigerians should assess his track record and compare it with his current proposals for the country.
“It’s for you to look at my past and look at what I’m saying now,” he said.
Reacting to Adeboye’s comments on Tinubu’s efforts to tackle insecurity, Obi said the respected cleric was correct in saying the President had tried his best.
“Somebody asked me yesterday, they said that Pastor Adeboye said Tinubu has tried his best and he’s not happy.
“And I said, no, Pastor Adeboye remains a very revered, respected religious father, whom I believe in his genuineness and goodness.
“And what he said was correct. He said he has tried his best. He’s trying his best. That’s it. It’s the correct answer.
“The question to ask is: Is his best good enough? Where we find ourselves today, that leads to the issue of capacity.”
