Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has alleged that Peter Obi, Labour Party Presidential Candidate, is “contributing to how Nigeria is going down.”
Oshiomhole said this during the flag-off of the APC presidential campaign and senatorial election at Auchi, Edo.
Oshiomhole urged Nigerians to be careful of Obi, describing him as a man who could not develop and grow the economy of Anambra State when he was governor.
He said:
“Obi owns the biggest shopping mall in Abuja and all the items sold there are imported, so if he is selling imported wines, clothes and other items, he is contributing to why Nigeria is going down because he is creating job abroad and importing unemployment to Nigeria.”
The former governor hence urged Nigeria to vote for a person with a track record of performance in his previous position held in his political career, noting that among the those contesting for president, the candidate of the APC, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, stands out as a great performer.
He said:
“Tinubu is the most suitable person for the president in 2023, They are throw stones at him because they have seen that they can’t dispute his performance. They said he didn’t go to school but they say he was the treasurer of Mobil oil company. Will an oil company employs someone as chief accountant or treasurer if he didn’t go to school?
“You have seen how Tinubu transformed Lagos, when he see a performing young person, he mentored and grow him to become a leader. That is why he has produced governors, senators, ministers among others. So Tinubu is the one who will bring up young Nigerians and mentor them.”
According to him, Obi and Peoples Democratic Party candidates, Atiku Abubakar can’t unite Nigeria, adding that they are serial defectors who can’t be trusted.
He said Atiku doesn’t believe in the unity of Nigeria as he had said in Kaduna state that northerners should not vote for a Yoruba and Ibo man as president, saying that a man who doesn’t believe in other tribes can’t unify Nigeria and can’t be voted for as president.
He said:
“Atiku defected from the PDP to the ACN, when he lost the election, he decamp to the PDP, he contest and lost and defected to APC, he again defected to the PDP and contested with Buhari and lost and now he still contesting. Can you vote for such candidate?”
