In response to the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s submission during his press conference asking President Bola Tinubu to clear himself of the controversies surrounding his identity and academic records, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has took a jibe on him.
Obi, during the press conference told the President to save himself and Nigeria from what he called ‘protracted embarrassment and undue anxiety’.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, stated that Nigerians, who voted for President Bola Tinubu know him and were not groggy during the elections, therefore, the President does not need a re-introduction.
The according to the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka reads:
“At his press conference earlier today, Mr. Obi blathered on about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s identity and academic record, like a broken voice note of Atiku Abubakar, cutting a pitiful profile as though forced to read a prepared statement by his unimaginative handlers, and mendacious associates in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Unwilling to miss out in the orchestrated campaign of calumny against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his certificate from the Chicago State University, Obi jumped on the tailboard of Atiku’s bandwagon to satisfy his uncanny and insatiable thirst for cheap media attention long after his Labour Party had dissociated itself from a bogus call to action by the former Vice President.
“In his drivel, Peter Obi demanded that the President reintroduce himself to Nigerians, as though the 8.9 million Nigerians who voted him last February were all groggy when they made their free democratic choice.
“Mr. Obi must know that President Tinubu does not need a re-introduction. He does not have any identity problem except the one contrived by the Atikus and Peters of our political firmament.
“The 8.9 million Nigerians who voted him into office were, and remain, aware of his outstanding record and accomplishments as a defender of democracy, freedom, social and economic justice for over three decades.”
“Nigerians know President Tinubu as a thoroughbred professional and former auditor and treasurer of Mobil Nigeria, now ExxonMobil.”
