Onanuga said Obi should act like Tinubu and former President Muhammadu Buhari by coming out to openly lead the nationwide protest.

He challenged Obi to be at the forefront of the protest and helping to curb the possible excesses.

Posting on X, Onanuga wrote: “Now that Peter Obi has come out to endorse the planned protest by his supporters, he should do what President Tinubu and former President Buhari did in the past, by coming out openly to lead the protesters.

Leadership involves being at the forefront of action, not manipulating events from behind the scenes. He should lead the protest and help manage any potential excesses.

Omoyele Sowore, a popular activist had called for the nationwide protest on August 1 against Tinubu’s administration.

The protest is against the hunger and suffering Nigerians are currently experiencing under Tinubu’s administration.

Despite warnings by the Nigerian Government and some state governors, the organizers of the protest had vowed to ensure that it succeeds.
