Abaribe: Tinubu’s ‘Kabiyesi’ Govt Fails, Obi Would Excel

Abia South Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has criticised President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, describing his administration as ineffective and likening it to a “Kabiyesi” (monarchical) style of government. Abaribe said the current system allows no dissent, with any opposing view treated as disloyalty.

He argued that Nigeria is a democracy, not a monarchy, and faulted what he described as the involvement of the president’s family in governance, saying such practices undermine democratic norms and proper use of state resources.

Abaribe said former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi would govern better, citing Obi’s record as governor where, he claimed, neither his family nor personal interests were thrust into public affairs. He also dismissed claims that he supports Tinubu’s “on your mandate” slogan, stressing that he has never associated himself with it.
