In the veiled reference, Tinubu said a candidate (Obi) and party (Labour Party) with no plans for Nigeria would take the country to the wrong destination.

His statement reads in part:

“When you asked him (Peter Obi) what he wants to do, he will say I will do the right thing, then the question is, what is the right thing you want to do, it is clear he does not know what to do. He has no plan for Nigeria.”

Tinubu's criticism of Peter Obi

Legit.ng earlier reported that the national leader of Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti's endorsement of APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, appeared to be well accepted in the southwest region than Ayo Adebanjo's endorsement of Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer.

This is due to the fact that Tinubu was publicly endorsed at an event organised for that purpose at Fasoranti's house in Akure, the Ondo state capital.

Also, Tinubu's endorsement was well attended by many respected Yoruba elders, governors, deputy governors, and senators.
