Tinubu’s aide mocks Peter Obi, Obidients after inflation decline

The Presidency on Wednesday slammed the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, and his supporters, the Obidients, amid the recent inflation report.

DAILY POST earlier reported that Nigeria’s headline inflation dropped to 18.02 per cent in September 2025, down from 20.12 per cent in August.

Data from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate that headline inflation has dropped for the sixth consecutive time this year.

Reacting, President Bola Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, in a post on his official Facebook page, said despite the “significant crash”, Obi would continue his criticism of the country’s economy.

He wrote, “Inflation recorded its most significant crash in September, falling from 20.12% to 18.02%.
“This is the sixth consecutive month that inflation has been declining. Peter Obi and his Obidient mob will never acknowledge this positive development in the economy. Never!”

DAILY POST reports that Obi, who was the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has consistently criticised the current administration, saying the government plunged Nigerians into untold hardship.
