In a recent report by Punch newspapers on remuneration packages for retired service chiefs, public outcry over the reduction in the cost of governance has been gaining momentum. Arise , a popular Nigerian news agency, shared the report on their verified Twitter account, fuelling the discussion.
Adding fuel to the fire, former Governor of Anambra State and presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his large convoy, which had gone viral. However, the tables have turned as social media users have now unearthed a video showing Obi himself moving with a sizable convoy during his presidential campaign.
The video has caused a stir online, with users questioning the credibility of Obi’s criticism and accusing him of hypocrisy. This development has led to an intense trail of reactions, with supporters and critics engaging in heated debates about the true intentions and actions of political figures.
As the video continues to circulate, it remains to be seen how this revelation will impact public perception and further shape discussions surrounding the cost of governance and the conduct of political leaders in Nigeria.
According to Arise , they said, “A report by Punch newspapers detailing remuneration packages for retired service chiefs, caused public outcry over the reduction in the cost of governance.
