Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has responded to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s recent comments accusing him of "demarketing" Nigeria. In his reply, Obi clarified that he is not trying to tarnish the country’s image but is simply telling the truth about Nigeria’s current state.
He emphasized that acknowledging the nation's challenges is essential for progress, stating:
“Telling ourselves the truth is not demarketing; it is the beginning of building a new Nigeria.”
Obi made it clear that his criticisms stem from a genuine concern for the country's future, not from a desire to bring it down. He argued that sugarcoating or ignoring problems only delays much-needed reforms.
This exchange follows Peter Obi’s frequent public remarks about governance, insecurity, and economic hardship in Nigeria — issues he believes are often downplayed by those in power.

I am not demarketing Nigeria.
