The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has taken a swipe at Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Speaking during his campaign in Ondo state on Saturday, January 7, Tinubu described his counterpart, Peter Obi, as Mr. Stingy.

According to Tinubu Obi is too stingy to govern Nigeria, because, the former Governor chose to save money while the people of Anambra went hungry.

Tinubu noted that Obi made created hunger in the state in his attempt to save money so he could boast.

The former Lagos state governor said that it is only a heartless governor who holds back money when people went hungry, schools, roads, and clinics went into disrepair, adding that neither the city-dweller nor farmer prospered under him.

The APC flagbearer stated that although Lagos is crowded and Anambra has ample space, people left Obi’s Anambra to seek a better life in Lagos.

Tinubu urge Nigerians not to entrust their future or the nation to Mr Stingy Obi, but rather trust him Mr. Progressive Good Governance Tinubu.

He said, “All he could do was boast that he saved money. But I tell you it is a wicked parent that holds money in his hand yet allows his children to starve.

“Likewise, it is a heartless governor who holds back money when people went hungry, schools, road and clinics went into disrepair. Neither the city-dweller nor farmer prospered under him.

“In the end, he refused to save the people because he preferred to save the money.

“And he claims to be the party of labor. You will have to be laboring under a terrible delusion if you think he will do better for the nation than he did for Anambra State.

“Buyer beware of salesmen selling fake merchandise.

“The truth of the difference between my leadership and that of Mr. Obi lies in one observation.

“Although Lagos is crowded and Anambra has ample space, more people left Obi’s Anambra seeking a better life in Tinubu’s Lagos than left Lagos believing Obi had established a blueprint for growth in Anambra.

“My people, you cannot entrust your future or that of our nation to Mr. Sell Everything Atiku or Mr. Stingy Obi.

“But you can trust Mr. Progressive Good Governance Tinubu!”
