Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, asserted that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, does not understand the path to take as Nigeria’s president.
Speaking during the APC presidential campaign flag-off today (Tuesday) at the Rawang Pam Township Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, Tinubu made this claim.
In his statement, “Peter obi, aah! This Obedient, he lives in Lagos, not in Anambra. He doesn’t know the road. We will return him to Anambra. We will chart him a new course.”
The APC presidential candidate, who stated that the Labour Party candidate lives in Lagos, vowed that he will send Obi back to Anambra state in 2023.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that there is still hope and that even in the face of adversity, Nigeria will survive.
He said, “ Hope is back, Nigeria will be well. Nigeria will not sink. We hereby reaffirm our commitment to progressive good governance.”
President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, the APC governors, and other national party stakeholders were present for the flag-off.
