The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has thrown shade at his counterpart in the Labour Party, Peter Obi, for always reeling out statistics and lying.
According to him, the lies issued by the former governor of Anambra State are like arithmetics that can’t be solved even by Indians.
Addressing Niger Delta Stakeholders in Gbaramatu, Delta State, on Friday, Tinubu said it would be a disgrace for him to mention him by name.
Intimating the community of his plans, he said, “The other one, he think na statistic we go chop. He lies with arithmetic that no Indian can ever solve. To mention his name is a disgrace even to me. I won’t mention the name. Wrong arithmetic, wrong statistics, warehouse economics. That’s not what Nigeria needs.
“Kabiyesi, Your Royal Majesty, it was a joy to find one of my own blood being part of you from Badagry. So, what else do you need? You need honesty; you need the man who knows the road. That is me.”
He assured the Pere of regular consultations by his administration if he became president of Nigeria.
“Our brothers here, we will embrace them for the development of the area, the community of Gbaramatu, and other associated communities – economic development, progress, jobs for our youth, a promised tomorrow that is certain.
“A renewed hope is here standing before you. And I promise, with the support of God on my team that you will live long, you will live with prosperity,” Tinubu said.
Tinubu mocks Atiku’s presidential ambition
Tinubu also had harsh words for his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, saying he should drop his presidential ambition.
“Kabiyesi, Your Royal Highness, as I stand before you, there are few of us left running. One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running? He’s always on the run and he’s tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is enough,” he said.
