Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has dismissed the endorsement of Peter Obi by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tinubu spoke at a rally in Benin, the Edo capital.
On Sunday, the former president formally announced his support for Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
The APC candidate said Obasanjo is trying to deceive Nigerians by endorsing Obi.
“Can that man recommend a leader for you in Nigeria? Is that not sending an agent to pick your pocket? A blind leading the blind,” Tinubu said.
“I am sorry I am not insulting visually-impaired people. But it won’t work; they will end up in the ditch. If I talk about Obasanjo and Obi, you will think they are human beings together. One who doesn’t know the way cannot show the way.”
Tinubu also criticised Obasanjo, adding that the ex-president “fought” with Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president, when the duo were in charge of the country’s affairs.
“The right leadership [to correct] those errors of those who are fighting naked in Wuse market in Abuja. Obasanjo and Atiku — or you were not in high school when they fought naked?” he asked
“Show me a good job that Atiku has done before? Show me one; you can’t find it. He is not the smartest in customs. A customs officer who cannot define the ethics of civil service provision.”
