Obi Claims There Are More “Yahoo Boys” in Tinubu’s Government Than Outside
Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), has strongly criticized President Bola Tinubu’s government, claiming that there are more “Yahoo boys” in the government than outside it.
Speaking at the fourth graduation ceremony of Nexford University, Obi lamented that corruption within the government has turned Nigeria into a “crime scene,” with those in power exploiting the system for personal gain.
He pointed out that while many focus on the actions of internet fraudsters, or “Yahoo boys,” in society, the real issue lies within the government.
“There are more Yahoo people in government than there are outside,” he said. “We have turned the entire country into a crime scene where both those inside and outside the government are stealing.”
“It’s about leadership, it’s about igniting the future. It’s not rocket science, but it’s difficult. It’s about having strong character and the ability to do the right thing,” he added.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
Residents of Lagos should prepare for traffic disruptions as several roads will be closed due to the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is set to commission infrastructural projects.
