Akume framed his remarks around Nigeria’s current economic growth under President Bola Tinubu, noting improvements in the nation’s GDP. He suggested that Nigeria is progressing under Tinubu’s leadership and that calls for Obi to “rescue” the country are misplaced, given his perceived challenges in managing his former state.

The SGF contrasted Tinubu’s leadership style, which he described as inclusive across religious and cultural lines, with Obi’s record as a state governor. He implied that experience in governing a single state is essential to handling the complexities of national leadership.
Akume’s comments come amid ongoing political debates in Nigeria about the 2027 elections, with former presidential candidates and political figures being evaluated for their capacity to address national challenges.
