Tinubu was reported to have stated that he made the rather sudden decision after carefully studying Obi's manifesto and found out that the former Anambra governor has much more to offer Nigeria.

Also, it was claimed that Tinubu urged Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other well-meaning Nigerians to join in supporting Obi's presidential ambition.

What is even more outrageous is that the former Lagos governor was said to have openly declared that only a fool will vote for him.

The message seen on Twitter by Daily Trust read in part:

“After careful observation of the Labour party manifesto I have come to agree that @PeterObi has more to offer Nigeria than I do, I’m hereby stepping down for HE Peter Obi I advice @atiku To do same let give the youths a chance.
