Tinubu knocks Peter Obi, says task ahead doable but difficult

L-R: Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu L-R: Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu has said Nigerians do not need a presidential candidate like Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.

Tinubu, in a veiled reference, described the former Anambra governor as a candidate fond of spreading “foolish statistics” and “lies”, PM News reported.

The APC presidential candidate maintained that the task ahead is doable but difficult, adding that only the right candidate and party can make the bold decisions Nigeria needs.

In the veiled reference, Tinubu said a candidate (Obi) and party (Labour Party) with no plans for Nigeria would take the country to the wrong destination.

His statement reads in part:

“When you asked him (Peter Obi) what he wants to do, he will say I will do the right thing, then the question is, what is the right thing you want to do, it is clear he does not know what to do. He has no plan for Nigeria.”Tinubu takes a swipe at Peter Obi, Atiku, explains why he's a better presidential candidate for Nigerians

Tinubu was obviously referencing the comments credited to Peter Obi, where he claimed that presenting a manifesto is not as important as knowing what to do offhand.

However, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer had recently stated that his manifesto would soon be made available for the Nigerian public.
