The Labour Party (LP) on Tuesday challenged Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to an open debate with its presidential flagbearer, Peter Obi so that Nigerians can judge who, between the two is better qualified to lead the country in 2023.

Speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LP-PCC), Dr Yunusa Tanko said Tinubu and Obi are not on the same level in terms of intellectual capacity.

Tinubu had last week said Obi has been quoting fake statistics that can't be substantiated, adding that he can never bring himself to even mention Obi's name as such would be a disgrace.

However, Tanko who described Tinubu as a drowning man challenged him to engage Obi in an open debate to determine who is best to lead Nigeria.

He said " The APC presidential candidate said it will be a disgrace to mention Obi's name. It is a statement from a drowning man".

"This is somebody that cannot really identify his own mother. He cannot clearly state his school records. So, Tinubu and Peter Obi are not in the same realm at all. Obi is far superior to him in terms of health, physical structure and intellectual disposition".


"Infact, it's a honour for him to be running against Peter Obi. As far we are concerned, we have an intellectually endowed presidential candidate who is consistent, who is transparent and has the capacity to turn Nigeria around for good".

"We challenge Tinubu to an open debate with Peter Obi and see if he will not be humiliated . He should come out of his hiding place and intellectually engage Peter Obi on national issues and let Nigerians decide who is the best between the two of them to lead the country in 2023".

Dem no born Tinubu well to accept the challenge

Peter Obi has oratory skill and he is looking for occasions to speak to flaunt it to get votes. Tinubu has the gift of political networking and he is looking occasions to use it to get votes. It is a contest where you use your strengths to exploit opportunities and counter threats while suppressing your weaknesses.

I don't think Tinubu as an experienced politician can't play into Peter Obi's ambush.

Tinubu will never attend an open debate with Peter Obi, he will continue to ignore such invitations with lame and flimsy excuses throughout this period

Teacher: Peter Obi
PO : Present Sir

Bubu: Fresent Sa

If Tinubu dare accept the challenge, I will sweep Third Mainland Bridge for two years.

All these mushroom party and their noise.

Atiku the main Challenger should be paired with Tinubu for debate not the attention seeking others like Sowore and co

Tinubu will never accept that invitation because he knows the disgrace that awaits him. A presidential candidate who doesn't know his real name and school records, no be juju be dat?

People like you are the reason Nigerian gets the kind of leaders it has.
Leadership without accountability.
Leadership of excuses.

If you cannot seize the opportunities to engage the wider audience of citizens, any so called political sagacity is a scam.

Tinubu as an experienced politician can't play into another Peter Obi's ambush.

Honouring a debate with Peter Peter Obi is giving legitimacy to a terrorist sponsor. Remember, Peter obituary is patron of Ipob/ESN cannibals who feeds on human flesh.

Ipob/ESN = Peter Obi
Peter Peter Obi = Ipob/ESN

A vote for Peter Peter Obi is a vote for Ipob terrorists.

It's disrespect of the highest order for Tinubu to debate with Obi.
What does multimillion monthly IGR initiator has to do with Mr zero investment.
"Deep calleth unto deep"

What's my offence? I did a balanced analysis.

Tinubu will not show up.

Wahala

Tinubu La show. La bend!

If Tinubu show make I bend

Waste of time he won't go if na your grandpa you for release am?

Nobody cares

Is it Tinubu that cannot stand for 30 seconds that you are invited to debate with Obi who can be seen in three to four state in a day attending functions including night vigil and you can still see him in another state attending function very early in the morning of the following day?

Debate So that your Lienus Peter Obi will have another opportunity to vomit more lies

I hate nonsense

Wahala for these obingo o
