O'tega Ogra, an aide to President Bola Tinubu, has taken a swipe at presidential candidate Peter Obi, following an interview with Rufai Oseni.

The interview has been judged by many social media users to show poor performance by Obi.

During the interview, Obi deflected most of the questions directed at him. When asked how he would solve Nigeria's electricity problem, Obi said he would not reveal his plan until he is elected President. This offended many Nigerians who wondered if he had any plan at all.

Reacting, Tinubu's aide mocked Obi's silence since the interview, saying, "For someone who releases a statement on almost everything, and who has mastered the art of drawing some of the most ridiculous false equivalences in those statements, it is curious that he has not found the words to address that shame of an interview.

"You would think this was exactly the kind of moment that deserved one of his long statements: a reflection on how badly that interview exposed the quality of judgment within the opposition, and how poorly it speaks to the choices opposition parties continue to present to Nigerians as candidates.

"No moral outrage. No lecture. No sermon. Just silence!

"But perhaps even he knows some things are too embarrassing to defend.

"But silence, too, is a statement... and sometimes, silence is the confession."
