Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Thursday, deplored the endorsement of the Labour Party flagbearear, Peter Obi by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo, on Sunday, formally announced his support for Obi.
Tinubu, who spoke at a rally in Benin, the Edo capital, accused Obasanjo of attempt to deceive Nigerians by his endorsement of Obi.
According to Tinubu, “Can that man recommend a leader for you in Nigeria? Is that not sending an agent to pick your pocket? A blind leading the blind.
“I am sorry I am not insulting visually-impaired people. But it won’t work; they will end up in the ditch. If I talk about Obasanjo and Obi, you will think they are human beings together. One who doesn’t know the way cannot show the way.”
The APC presidential flagbearear further lambasted Obasanjo, saying that the ex-president “fought” with Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, when the duo were in charge of the country’s affairs.
“The right leadership [to correct) those errors of those who are fighting naked in Wuse market in Abuja. Obasanjo and Atiku — or you were not in high school when they fought naked?
“Show me a good job that Atiku has done before? Show me one; you can’t find it. He is not the smartest in customs. A customs officer who cannot define the ethics of civil service provision.”
