2023: Reject presidency by proxy, Obi tells Nigerians

PETER Obi’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, has asked Nigerians to no longer tolerate those that turn the government into a family and friends affair and should therefore reject those who want to run the nation by proxy.

The Obi-Datti Campaign stated this while reacting to the Minister of State for Labour, Festus Keyamo, who had challenged Peter Obi’s son of the Labour Party to organize a campaign rally in Anambra state, just as APC flag bearer’s son Seyi Tinubu, did for his father in Lagos.

The LP Campaign said the only thing that joins Obi and Tinubu is that they were once governors of states in Nigeria, “after that one became a parasite to the state government he served with his entire family while the the other left government house and he and any members of his family never collected a dime from Anambra state.”

The campaign team in a statement in Abuja said “Unlike Tinubu and his household who have grown to be stupendously wealthy with no identifiable industry or means of making money outside the state government for over two decades”, Obi is not like that.

They went further to say that, “If Keyamo had taken time to study the family he speaks for very well he would have avoided this comparison that is bound to expose the parasitic life of his Principal and understand why the entire household is headlong in the campaign.

“The other time Tinubu’s wife, Senator Remi, was threatening fire and brimstone over Lagos, then the daughter and now the son is showing off with rally. Do you blame a people struggling to keep a family business? The Tinubu family have cornered the commonwealth of Lagos state which they now run as a family enterprise.
