The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stated this on Saturday while addressing his mammoth crowd of supporters during the Ondo State APC Presidential Campaign Rally held at the popular MKO Abiola Democracy Park in Akure, the Ondo State Capital. 

Asiwaju Tinubu in his words, described “Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP, as a failed economist that he has been parading himself to be. He told the people of Ondo State that, for Obi, all he could do is to safe monies. I don’t even know how much he has been able to safe. Obi is a wicked parent and has nothing to be proud of in Anambra State where he was once a Governor. Instead, he left Anambra State and came to Lagos to take a sojourn. Obi is a fake doing a fake business”, Tinubu declared. 

Continuing, Tinubu queried why Obi migrated from Anambra to Lagos State. He pleaded with the people and electorates in Ondo State and Nigerians at large to ensure they don’t entrust the affairs of the Country, Nigeria into the hand of the trader called Peter Gregory Obi to prevent him from selling off the Country’s refineries to his friends and cronies. 

Speaking on the Presidential ambition of Alhaji Atiku Abukakar, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Asiwaju Tinubu, said, “Atiku cannot do it. He doesn’t want to do a hard work, instead, he rather prefers to sell the birthrights of Nigerians to the highest bidder and his cronies and run away with the proceeds. 

Atiku lacks the capacity to rule Nigeria. When he was a leader in the Country, he misused the opportunity given to him to make a good mark in the Country. 

Speaking further, Tinubu affirmed that the only place where real progressives politics is played in the Country is Ondo State. “All of you here today, in Ondo State, my prayer is that, your children will excel and will not fail in life”.

He explained that the February 23, 2023
