‘Leave Obi Alone, Face Your Partner In Foul Language, APC’ – LP Fires PDP

The Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council has slammed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its latest attack on its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Naturenex reports that the LP campaign council was reacting to a statement made by the spokesman of the PDP campaign council, Dino Melaye, that Obi is a regional candidate.

According to the former Kogi West Senator, there is no regional champion that has ever been President of the country.

In a chat with Leadership on Monday, the chief spokesman for the LP campaign council, Yunusa Tanko, said Obi is a Pan-Nigerian candidate and not a regional flagbearer.

Yunusa stated that the LP candidate is the darling of Nigerian youths nationwide, and has strong supporters in all geopolitical zones of the country unlike Atiku is without a base.

He said, “Obi is a Pan-Nigerian candidate; unlike Atiku who is the proverbial bat without a base. Obi is today the darling of Nigerian youths nationwide and has strong supporters in all geopolitical zones – North, West, and West.

“The Nigerian patriots I know will surely reward Obi with votes for transforming the imagination of our youths from despair, despondency, and hopelessness to a hopeful and prosperous country.”

Speaking further, Tanko appreciated Melaye for acknowledging Obi’s character, competence, and strong health.

He, however, appealed to PDP Campaign Council to leave Obi alone and face APC, their partners in a foul language campaign.

He said, “Obi has sworn not to use foul and intemperate language on any presidential candidate no matter the provocation; instead his focus is on how best to transform the country from consumption to production.”
