“I am desperate to see Nigeria working, I can’t hide it. I even confronted them if you want it, why didn’t you bring Osinbajo so that we can have people who want to work for the country?
“Nigeria needs a healthy person and someone like him working 24 hours. Let’s have the place working for everyone.”
Reacting to Obi's perspective, Reno Omokori, the former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan said Tinubu is by far a better candidate than Obi and Vice President Osinbajo combined.
He noted that despite Tinubu's history of corruption allegations and other speculations, his track record has proven beyond reasonable doubt that he is a better candidate.
Reno, via his official Twitter handle, wrote:
"Tinubu may be a drug lord, and I will never have anything to do with such a vile person.
"However, put Osinbajo and Obi together and multiply them by 10, and Tinubu is still better than them in managing men and resources.
