The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has declared that mentioning the name of the Labour Party Presidential Candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, is a disgrace to him
The former Lagos State Governor who asserted that Peter Obi lies with arithmetic that no Indian can solve, said, that is not what Nigerians need.
He made this known during a campaign rally at the Pere Pavilion in Oporoza town, headquarters of Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta state on Friday
He said “The other one, that one thinks its statistics we will eat, he lies with arithmetic that no Indian can solve.

“To mention his name is a disgrace to me. I would not mention the name.
“Wrong arithmetic, wrong statistics, warehouse economy. That’s not what Nigerians need,” he said.
Tinubu, alongside APC Governors on Friday, stormed Oporoza, the ancestral headquarters of Gbaramatu kingdom in Warri South West Local Government Area of Delta state.
Quest Times gathered that while at Oporoza, Tinubu will pay homage to the Pere of Gbaramatu kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Oboro-Gbaraun II, Aketekpe, Agadagba.

After the homage, Tinubu’s train will proceed to the home of High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, a former leader of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), and global ambassador of the Ijaw Nation, where he is expected to hold a private meeting with him.
Analysts believe that the latest visit to Chief Tompolo by Tinubu, who holds the traditional title of Jagaban of Borgu kingdom, is among other objectives aimed at soliciting Tompolo’s support in his current presidential position pursuit.
