Speaking on Monday at a campaign rally in Uyo, capital city of Akwa Ibom, the former governor of Lagos said Abubakar and his party are just about “stomach infrastructure”.

“Akwa Ibom, you will not suffer again. That boy [Emmanuel Udom] that brought Atiku here, that calls himself governor, tell him enough is enough. He lived in my backyard in Lagos. If not that we are one, I’d have driven him home.”

Can Tinubu said this to any northern gov or SW gov what a disrespect to the people of AkwaIbom

Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says he “rescued” Atiku Abubakar from former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Abubakar, former vice-president and now standard-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had a running battle with his former principal for years.

Both men reconciled in the build-up to the 2019 general election.

Obasanjo also endorsed Abubakar for the presidency during the 2019 polls, saying that he was better than incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari.

However, for the 2023 presidential election, Obasanjo has since thrown his weight behind Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

Speaking on Monday at a campaign rally in Uyo, capital city of Akwa Ibom, the former governor of Lagos said Abubakar and his party are just about “stomach infrastructure”.

“They don’t have a mandate; what they have is ice cream. It has melted. I am the one that rescued him from Obasanjo who wanted to roast him like goat meat,” he said.

“He ran away to Dubai, and when the election came again, he came for stomach infrastructure. He came to Lagos. We rehabilitated him and gave him a ticket but he wasted it and used it to collect money.

“He faced Obasanjo, faced Buhari and failed. He failed with Jonathan. He failed in all his subjects.

“You better watch him before he starts selling the little palm trees that you have left. What we need to do is to develop our country. We have enough gas reservoirs on our land.

“Akwa Ibom, you will not suffer again. That boy [Emmanuel Udom] that brought Atiku here, that calls himself governor, tell him enough is enough. He lived in my backyard in Lagos. If not that we are one, I’d have driven him home.”

Please,I thought everyone is entitled to live and work anywhere in Nigeria?

What's this talk about owing Lagos and arrogating yourself the title of emperor. If this guy becomes president, that means we all turn to subjects and he will decide who will live in Nigeria or not.

If you mock him for his health, they will say you're mocking a sick person but he goes about infuriating people and demeaning them

Throwback:
The OP wants to raise hell over nothing.

Tinubu said worse to the Ogun state Governor, so hush it.

Tinubu lack of proper education really affecting his level of reasoning, if he can't respect the person at least respect his office, the gov is the first family of a state of more than 5 million people. Yoruba's i know has home training why Tinubu case is different even a sitting president got insulted.

N3TRAL:

Akwa Ibom people will love Jagaban more for calling Udom a boy. Jagaban is not lying. Even as Governor, Udom spends at least 4 days a week at his residence in Lagos.

The streets of Uyo are wild for Jagaban.

Jagaban will win at least 10 Local Governments in Akwa Ibom. He will get his 25% and move on.

Akwa Ibom people know the person that brought Jagaban to them.

He is the person that built the stadium used for the campaign today. It is the best stadium in Nigeria modelled after Bayern's Arena in Munich. It is better than the one in Peter Obi's Anambra or Atiku's Adamawa.

He is the person that gave Akwa Ibom State an airport. Anambra's billionaires used to land in Enugu state under Peter Obi and drive to their mansions in the village. Anambra had no airport.

Akwa Ibom people know the man who built flyovers, quality roads - some extended into neighbouring Abia State.

His name is Akpabio. He is the one who brought Tinubu to his people and told them "Tinubu is a builder like me".


Akwa Ibom people will not fail Akpabio on his quest to become Nigeria's third citizen. They will vote massively to return Akpabio to the Senate and vote massively too for Tinubu.

That crowd you saw in Uyo today is pure love for Akpabio and Tinubu. APC will score better than Labour Party in AKWA IBOM.

Stop the hate-filled narrative.
