The presidential candidates of APC and Labour Party yesterday threw personal punches at each other, leaving issues based campaign.
Speaking to the business community in Lagos, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu said that Nigerians should look at the achievements of Peter Obi as governor, saying that Obi lacked the antecedent and experience to lead Nigeria.
Said Tinubu :’Then we look at the qualifications and achievements of an individual during the processes but don’t forget, we are in a multi party democracy. So we will have those mistakes once the wrong party gets in and you have one of the candidates who is fond of saying “when you do the right thing” When do you do the right thing? How to solve his problem is by when we do the right thing.
I won’t tell you I have two pairs of shoes or I have a single wristwatch. Leadership goes beyond spewing dubious statistics or showcasing a mediocre performance as the governor of Anambra state.’
In quick response, the Labour Party said Tinubu was not facing political reality.
The spokesman for the Labour Party presidential council, Dr Yunusa Tanko fired back :’As far as Labour Party is concerned, we cannot have a repetition of another eight years of an incapacitated president. We cannot afford to have somebody that will be going out of the country for a medical checkup every fortnight. It cannot be possible. We cannot afford to have someone full of lies and criminal records in power. Nigerians cannot afford to have the same old order again. They (APC) are just afraid that we have a capable, consistent and hard-working individual on our side’.
