ACCOUNTABILITY CALL: Peter Obi Drops Scorching Open Letter to Tinubu over ₦15.8 Trillion Subsidy Savings and Foreign Trips!

Abdulhameed Sherif · Politics · Nov 7, 2026

Presidential candidate Peter Obi has unleashed a sharp and direct open letter to President Bola Tinubu, demanding total accountability for the administration's financial management.

As political friction intensifies ahead of upcoming electoral cycles, national economic management and the tangible impact of sweeping government reforms have taken center stage in public discourse:

The Domestic Tour Jab: Obi opened his address by congratulating Tinubu on spending a night in Akwa Ibom State, dryly expressing hope that the local cuisine compares favorably to the foreign destinations where the president has reportedly spent over 260 days since taking office.

Tracing Public Funds: The fiery letter pressed the administration to provide a transparent breakdown of how resources have been utilized—specifically targeting the ₦15.8 trillion saved from fuel subsidy removal, massive international borrowings exceeding $100 billion, and increased revenues from taxation.

Demanding Measurable Metrics: Challenging broad government claims, Obi insisted that citizens deserve concrete answers regarding poverty alleviation figures, out-of-school children reintegration, primary healthcare establishment, and improvements in the power sector.

Whether viewed as a masterstroke in opposition communication or a vital demand for fiscal transparency, the open letter forces the conversation squarely back onto governance performance and the real-world impact of public resources!
