2023: Atiku, Obi Have Nothing To Offer, Says Tinubu

Peter Obi, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar

The All Progressives Congress’ (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday appealed to Nigerians to make a wise decision on the candidate they would cast their votes for on February 25, 2023.

While stressing that his main challengers, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and that of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, could not be trusted to pilot the affairs of the country, Tinubu said that the two opposition candidates lacked an understanding of the country.

The APC candidate spoke in Akure, Ondo State, during the presidential campaign of the party in the state. He emphasised that he would emerge the winner at the polls.

He said: “Ondo is known as a progressive state, followed by other states such as Ogun and Oyo. I appreciate our progressive governors. This upcoming election is our own. It is the vote of inheritance. It is a vote of three to one. Don’t lose your permanent voters’ cards (PVCs); your PVCs are your right.

“Our rally is a signal of our renewed hope for Nigeria, that on February 25, you will make a wise decision. You will vote massively for me. I’m too sure and very sure that you will vote for APC. That’s why I’m very happy. I will win this election.

“Atiku cannot do it; he doesn’t want to build a better nation; instead, he will rather sell your birth right to the highest builders and run away. Atiku’s policies and actions are nothing.

“Obi had a chance to show up as progressive when he was governor of Anambra State, but all he could do was boast that he saved money when he was the governor.

“Obi has nothing to be proud of. Instead, he made the people of Anambra to cry, and he claimed to be the party’s labour leader. My people, you cannot entrust your future or that of our nation to Atiku and Obi. What has Atiku brought to Nigeria?

“Myself and my running mate, Shettima, are ready to bring renewed hope through empowerment to all of you. If you give me your mandate as you promised, I will work so hard that I will put money in your pocket.”
