Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, has criticised Peter Obi, describing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate as “overhyped and overrated.”
Onanuga on Saturday questioned Obi’s record as governor of Anambra State and his suitability for a higher political office.
He described Obi as “clueless” and alleged that the former Anambra governor was a “spectacular failure” during his time in office.

According to Onanuga, Obi’s supporters believe he can perform a miracle if elected to a higher office, but he noted that governance could not be achieved through “magic.”
“Peter Obi is simply overhyped and overrated. The guy is clueless. As Anambra governor, he was a spectacular failure,” Onanuga wrote.
The presidential aide said a prospective national leader should have a proven governance pedigree, which he claimed Obi lacked.
He also accused Obi of changing his political positions frequently, comparing him to a chameleon.
Onanuga further alleged that Obi’s worldview was influenced by his supporters on social media.
“Now gunning for a higher office, his supporters think he can perform a miracle. How? Governance is not by magic,” he said.
“A wannabe national leader must have a governance pedigree, which Peter lacks. He changes his positions like a chameleon. And his worldview is dictated by his mob on social media,” Onanuga added.
