Adeyanju gives reasons why Obi should step down for Tinubu
Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political activist, on Saturday, described the Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, and his counterpart from Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, as business partners.
Adeyanju said those voting for Obi are doing the same for Atiku.
In a series of tweets, Adeyanju urged Nigerians to vote a presidential candidate who has never stolen public funds before.
He wrote: “A vote for Obi is a vote for Atiku. Don’t forget they are both business partners and ran together in 2019. Vote a candidate that has never stolen public funds before; clean start for Nigeria.”
The Abuja-based activist also suggested that Labour Party members should prevail on Obi to step down for the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
He explained that the vote in the Southern part of the country would not be split if Obi steps down for Tinubu.
“Since Labor Party folks are saying they don’t mind Tinubu instead of Atiku, so why not prevail upon your candidate to step down for Asiwaju so as not to split the votes of the South since you guys are doing South United to prevent another northerner? This suggestion is very good,” he wrote.
Don’t waste your votes on Obi – APC youth leader
Meanwhile, The Northwest youth leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Abdulhamid Umar Oscar has urged people of the NorthWest zone, especially the youths not to waste their votes for the Labour Party Candidate, Peter Obi in the next general elections.
Oscar said Obi has not stated clearly how he will continue with the good works of the APC administration under President Muhammadu Buhari.
The statement noted that “except churning out fictitious figures to back up his ignorance when asked what he is offering Nigerians as president.”
“Obi is not in tune with reality in the country. And we don’t want an experimental presidency, we want a leader with practical experience and a track record to govern Nigeria.
Unlike the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu who reeled out his past achievements for everyone to see, the APC youth leader challenged the Labour Party candidate to list his achievements as “governor for 8 years in Anambra state, before he can even be taken seriously.
He said Aiswaju has the better qualifications, exposure, and know-how to rule the country, and his ideas to are rock solid. “We can imagine him replicating his achievements on Lagos in just 10 states should he emerge as president; I believe Nigeria will transcend into a community of nations deciding in the world.” he said.
