 Peter Obi to Petition Tinubu Over High POS Charges


Former Anambra State governor and 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has raised concerns about the severe hardships faced by low-income Nigerians.

He further revealed his intention to formally address the issue with President Bola Tinubu, stating:  

“I will write officially to the President and highlight these challenges. The POS charges are excessive, and no country should function this way.”
