Special Adviser Media and Public Communication to President Bola Tinubu, Sunday Dare, has declared that nobody in the current administration is afraid of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Dare insisted that Obi was a threat and a nightmare but currently Tinubu’s administration is not afraid of him.

Featuring on the latest edition of Mic On Podcast, the presidential aide noted that Tinubu’s administration is standing on a solid ground of performance.

He said: “This government is not afraid of Peter Obi, the same right he has to ask Tinubu to resign is the same right the government has to respond to him that the president will not resign, there is no basis or reason for the president to resign.

“The right that the government has to educate to say that you need to go back to school, we run a presidential system, we have elections every four years and not just for the president but for the Senate and House of Representatives.

“That’s where you can go back for the citizens, so nobody is afraid of Peter Obi.

“He is not a nightmare, maybe before, Peter Obi was a threat, but right now, Peter Obi is no threat because we stand on solid ground of performance.

“We are able to interrogate the problems of this country. Peter Obi will not defeat President Tinubu in Lagos again.”

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has paid a condolence visit to the family of Islamic teacher, Ummulkhairi who was gruesomely murdered by a mob in Maraban Jos, Igabi Local Government Area in the state.

“This evening, Governor Uba Sani visited the family of the late Ummulkhairi in Maraban Jos, Kaduna, to extend his heartfelt condolences.

“He met with her husband, Malam Aliyu, and other family members to offer support. The Governor explicitly assured them that those responsible for her murder will be brought to justice,” he wrote. 

Mr Abdallah stated that the governor committed to personally assisting Mr Aliyu and caring for the children she left behind until they reached adulthood.

“Governor Sani assured that the 41 suspects already detained will be prosecuted, and that efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects,” he added.

Mr Abdallah added that the governor said a comprehensive investigation was underway to ensure that any police officers suspected of involvement are held accountable.
