The Presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday threw jabs at his fellow contestants, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of LP, describing them as liar and betrayer respectively.
Tinubu said: “We are not like PDP that forgot your rail lines. They are liars. When you hear Atiku say ‘Wallahi Talahi’ (Hausa expression for ‘I swear’), what is in his head is “na lie I lie.” Any time you hear him say, “Walahi talahi,” just reply and say, “na lie I lie,” Tinubu said.
He added: “The man who left here, he calls himself Peter Obi. We read in the bible that before the cock crows, he will deny Jesus Christ. Is it not true? So how can he keep his promise to you? He cannot prove a point. Has Bola Tinubu not proved a point? Did I close any market? Did I kill anyone? I’m a thinker and a doer, I even tamed the Atlantic.”
Tinubu insisted that he is the only one who has been able to establish a track record of success, with verifiable projects as Governor of Lagos State.
The candidate eulogized Governor Soludo of Anambra, saying: “Soludo your son is not contesting with me or against me. He is a brilliant man, he has the brain, he is a thinker, he knows the way. We will work together. When I become the president, Soludo will be one of those advisers who will bring prosperity back to you. So the way you voted for Soludo is the way you vote for Bola Tinubu.”
Speaking on his promises for the people of Anambra State, Tinubu said: “You want to make Anambra a highly dependable state right? That is the memory of my dear friend Chuba Okadigbo. That is what we will continue to carry on – the joy of Chuba Okadigbo.”
Continuing, he said: “Youths of Anambra, I’m here today to concretize the promise of development that will promise you restoration and industrialisation.”
