Obi raises Alarm, Poverty hits 63% under Tinubu

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has raised fresh concerns over Nigeria’s economic situation, warning that poverty levels have reportedly climbed to 63% under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. According to Obi, the rising cost of living, inflation, and economic hardship are pushing more Nigerians into poverty, with many struggling to afford basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing.

The claim has sparked debate across the country, with analysts pointing to broader economic challenges including currency depreciation, subsidy reforms, and unemployment as contributing factors.
