"...He is not Asiwaju’s doctor and is not privy to his medical record, Obi has again disgracefully elevated what has for long been a beer parlor gossip and social media lie being propagated by his IPOB supporters."


The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has replied the presidential standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, who labelled him unfit to contest in the 2023 presidential election.

Tinubu in his response also berated Obi for saying his (Tinubu) supporters are backing him for his money, stressing that he is hale and hearty.

This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga.

The statement read in part: “Since he is not Asiwaju’s doctor and is not privy to his medical record, Obi has again disgracefully elevated what has for long been a beer parlor gossip and social media lie being propagated by his IPOB supporters.

“Obi in his characteristic manner is amplifying falsehood which should not have a place in decent political campaign.

“We believe that political leaders should be guided in their utterances and be sticklers for the truth, but Obi has thrown all caution to the wind, pronouncing on issues he has no moral and professional competence to make a judgement call on.

“We want to make it crystal clear to all the traducers of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate that Asiwaju Tinubu is not ill. He is hale and hearty. A man who works for 20 hours a day, meeting people and strategising about finding solutions to Nigeria’s problems, cannot be said to be ill. We make bold to say that our candidate is as fit as the fiddle.

“We also want to educate Peter Obi and his horde of gullible followers that Tinubu’s millions of supporters countrywide are backing him not because of any pecuniary benefit. Asiwaju Tinubu supporters are rooting for him because of their strong belief in his demonstrable ability to provide progressive leadership for our country.

“They are supporting him because they believe in his capacity as a transformative leader, who once made a historic mark in Lagos State and is capable of replicating same in Nigeria.

“On this score alone, Tinubu is unmatched in the field by even the perennial presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. He is certainly not in the same league with the rabble rousing Peter Obi by all leadership parameters,” the Presidential Campaign Council noted.

The campaign council, however, cautioned Peter Obi to “desist from politics of falsehood”, adding: “We advise him to canvass on issues and for once give his hollow campaign some credibility by refraining from telling lies.”

Upload the video where he replied Obi.
Tinubu is an old mumu that cannot speak or fight for himself because he is already going to his.........
Complete it. He is not fit QED

Antyislam:
Tinubu is not fit, go and verify.

Obojuju:
Tinubu is too arrogant and currently empty in brain due to excess drugs, one reason you can never see him face the press or appear for a live interview. He is sick and a dying clown. He thinks Nigeria belongs to him. . And the youths of this nation will open a new and wide pathway that will put him in his place. He is also too corruption inclined and sees that system as normal.
His Muslim - Muslim ticket is also a sign of disrespect and shows how he prioritizes personal interest above collective interest of the nation.
Atiku's only and major problem is that he will definitely steal heavily, because he is very loose. So it hard to trust him.
If Osibanjo had been picked by APC, perhaps we would have had 2 viable choices at least, even thou he may be used as a puppet.
Right now, the best option for any genuine and objective Nigerian is Peter Obi.
Most of those craving for Tinubu and Atiku are those benefiting from their corrupt flows. So they don't want to be jobless or broke.
Nigeria will be free with Peter Obi as the next President of Nigeria come 2023.

PresidObi:
We can't be sure Tinubu said this, he may be too sick he cannot grant an interview.

If you doubt me, let him attempt to tell us on video without anyone holding him to be steady.

We cannot continue to accept people campaigning by proxy.
