“Here is a new role model for you. His name is Governor Alex Otti of Abia State. It’s either you change your ways now, or your wicked, evil and lawless ways will consume you as you set the nation on fire,” she wrote.
Former presidential aide Lauretta Onochie has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of abandoning the democratic values associated with the late President Muhammadu Buhari, urging him to emulate Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.

Onochie made the allegations in a strongly worded social media post addressed to Tinubu, in which she criticised his leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging that the ruling party had abandoned its founding values.
She accused the President of promoting what she described as lawlessness, thuggery, hooliganism and intimidation, which she said were contrary to democratic principles.
According to her, Tinubu had discarded the values Buhari brought into the APC during his leadership of the party.
Onochie also criticised the President’s alleged political collaboration with former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, claiming that their actions had contributed to economic hardship, hunger, poverty and insecurity in the country.
She described the situation under the current administration as “Renewed hopelessness”, in an apparent play on the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope agenda.
Presenting Governor Otti as an alternative leadership example, Onochie urged Tinubu to change his approach to governance, warning that continued disregard for democratic principles could have serious consequences for the country.
“Here is a new role model for you. His name is Governor Alex Otti of Abia State. It’s either you change your ways now, or your wicked, evil and lawless ways will consume you as you set the nation on fire,” she wrote.
She further appealed to the President to change course, declaring: “Repent now! Don’t set our nation ablaze.”
Onochie ended the post with prayers for Nigeria and a series of political hashtags, including #TinubuMustGo, #TinubuIsADisaster and #AtikuIsComing, alongside messages expressing support for the Nigerian Armed Forces and Police.
The post comes amid continuing political exchanges and criticisms of the Tinubu administration as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
