The advice of Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, to President Bola Tinubu to lead by example has excited reaction from the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Obi had at a press conference in Abujaon Thursday, urged the President to stop travelling for medical tourism and make use of hospitals in Nigeria.
He also admonished Tinubu to travel around the country by road so as to have a firsthand knowledge of the state of the terrains.
The admonition has drawn him criticism from the ruling APC.
“It is a thing of irony that Obi, who now arrogates to himself to be omniscient and philosopher’s stone, when it comes to our nation’s challenges, left no record of significant achievement, let alone transformation of any kind, in his eight-year tenure as Governor of Anambra State.
“Like his co-travellers in the PDP, Obi’s obsessive pessimism and endless but futile effort to incite public outrage against the administration is borne out of the realization that Tinubu is unwittingly cementing their political irrelevance by his visionary and full-throttle reform.
“Under the banner of the Renewed Hope Agenda, President Tinubu is dutifully turning our nation’s fortunes around. We urge Nigerians to remain confident of better days ahead,” the party National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka wrote in a statement he released.
