Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and the governorship candidate of the party for the Osun poll, Lasun Yusuff, on Wednesday reacted to the comment made by the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Daily Report Nigeria recall that Tinubu at the grand rally for the reelection of APC candidate, Adegboyega Oyetola on Tuesday, said “they said some are in Labour, they will remain labourers till death”.
Reacting to the comment, Obi, who was in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to support Yusuff at the party’s governorship rally, advised the party members to return such comment with love.

He said, “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said that ‘they can labour till death.’ When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labour.”
The former Anambra State governor urged Osun residents to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll for better leadership.
Addressing the rally, Yusuff said the comment by Tinubu was inconsistent with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man.
He, however, promised to surprise those saying he would not get votes in Saturday’s election and urged LP members to work hard for victory at the poll.
“He came back yesterday and said we should go and labour till death. That is not an attribute of a virtuous Yoruba person. I described them as people with anonymous background, we don’t know them, their life is anonymous,” Yusuff stated.
