Emi L’okan: ‘It Is the Turn of Nigerians, Not One Greedy Politician’, Obi Blasts Tinubu
- The battle gets interesting by the day and the game gets tougher for the race to Aso Rock in the 2023 general election
- In fact, APC flagbearer Bola Tinubu would have to contend with not only Labour Party's candidate Peter Obi but his supporters, who are ready for a showdown with anyone who downplays his candidacy
- Interestingly, Obi will have to compete tightly with the Jagaban of Lagos in a game that many have described can be won by the 'strong-hearted'
Peter Obi has slammed his counterpart, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, noting that with the present condition of Nigeria, the 2023 election should not be based on ethnic or personal greed for power, as shown in the catch-phrase ‘Emi L’okan (it is my turn).’
Tinubu had, days before his party’s presidential primary, told an audience at Abeokuta in Ogun state that it was his turn to become the president of Nigeria.
