The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Bola Tinubu on Wednesday aimed a dig at former President Olusegun Obasanjo
and his erstwhile Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu spoke at the Michael Okpara Square in Enugu during a
presidential campaign rally of the APC.
Obasanjo had a few days ago endorsed Mr. Peter Obi of the
Labour Party for the number one position in the country.
But in his speech, Tinubu said both Obasanjo, Atiku and his
party, PDP, should be ashamed of themselves.
While hailing the President Muhammadu Buhari administration
for completing the second Niger Bridge, Tinubu said, “They didn’t do it for 16
years, they chop your money, abused themselves.
“You know whom I am talking about? I don’t want to abuse
them, but I can refer to something.
“OBJ and Atiku, when they finished chopping the money, they
started abusing one another, you took much, I took much, they danced naked in
Wuse Market in Abuja. Don’t believe them anymore.”
He urged the people of Enugu and the entire South-East to
trust him with their votes, assuring that it would lead to economic boom in the
area.
“As you pray, be ready to sacrifice for Nigeria. Here you
are, if the federal government partners with you, if you elect me as the
President and we work together, we can site the industrial hub for Enugu,
industrial hub for Imo, for Ebonyi, Anambra, Abia, build seaports, fabricating
engines.
“Enugu will become an industrial hub greater than before.
There will be jobs for all of you. You have the edible mineral resources to
propel economic recovery. You are all equally an agricultural powerhouse that
can produce many cash crops, even before now you were producing flowers and
exporting them. All you need is to partner with the federal government. Let’s
work together.”
At the rally were Governors Dave Umahi and Hope Uzodinma of
Ebonyi and Imo States, respectively, Senator Andy Uba, the Enugu State Chairman
of APC, Barr. Ugo Agballah, the party’s guber candidate, Mr. Uche Nnaji, among
others.
