Onifade said:
“A speech-challenged contestant who cannot pronounce or spell ‘m.u.l.t.i.p.l.i.c.a.t.i.o.n’ and wants to argue about numbers, arithmetic, and statistics says a lot about how low we have climbed in this country."
He noted that the LP candidate was brimming with practicable ideas and he was demystifying electioneering rhetorics by employing simple facts and figures in his campaigns.
According to Onifade, providing the numbers shows Obi’s preparedness for the high office of the president if and when hired by Nigerian voters come 2023.
Peter Obi will not be distracted
The media head of the ObiDatti team further stated that the LP's presidential candidate will not be distracted by the inability of some contestants in the 2023 race to cope with Peter Obi’s speed and deep knowledge of issues.
His words:
“Our candidate has said repeatedly that his assertions were verifiable and dared anybody with contrary facts and figures to come up.
"Analysts, media houses, and opponents have formed fact-checking units in their organisations ostensibly to contradict Peter Obi’s facts and figures but they are yet to succeed.
“We find it extremely laughable and shameful that a candidate who is aspiring to lead his country but has not been able to present any identifiable record of his origin, age, and educational background is challenging the man who is indisputably equipped with the way to go about salvaging our dear country."
He also said that the fact that the APC flag bearer has questionable bio-data has left the electorate guessing his real age and health status.
