He accused Obasanjo of frustrating his attempt to help salvage the problem of electricity in the country when he invited Enron Power to help fix Nigeria's electricity crisis.
Tinubu said:
"I brought Enron to solve the electricity problem and help Lagos economy but Obasanjo and PDP frustrated it. They punished me and Lagos people and even began deducting our money."

Tinubu also touched on his old feud with Obasanjo when the allocation of Lagos state was seized by his administration, a move that led him to improvise and created more local government to salvage the sustainability of Lagos state.
He said:
"I created Local Governments in Lagos to accelerate development and create employment for our people but Obasanjo siezed our allocation and punished us for that.
"That was wickedness and such a man said he endorsed a man for you to vote as President. Can you follow such a man? Can Obasanjo recommend a leader for anyone in Nigeria? A man who does not know the way cannot show the way."
