Mr. Bola Tinubu who is the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said it would be a disgrace for him to mention the name of his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi.
Tinubu made this known while speaking at a rally in Gbaramatu, Delta state on Friday.
According to the former Lagos governor, the ‘wrong statistics’ often dished out by Obi is not what Nigeria currently needs.
Tinubu went on to describe himself as one of ‘a few’ presidential candidates still in the race.
He said: ‘As I stand before you, there are a few of us left running. One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running? He is always on the run and he is tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is enough.’

‘The other one think na statistics we go chop. He lies with arithmetic that no Indian can solve. To mention his name is a disgrace to me. I won’t mention the name. Wrong arithmetic, wrong statistics, warehouse economy — that is not what Nigeria needs.’
In a related development, the Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has finally expressed commitment to work for the victory Tinubu.
El-Rufai gave the assurance on Thursday at the inauguration of Kaduna APC Campaign Council.
The governor described Tinubu as an experienced leader who performed well as Lagos governor.

‘Bola Tinubu is our candidate whom we all supported to get the ticket and we are sure we will not regret it.
‘Tinubu is a leader who will be just, fair and equitable to all’, he was quoted as saying.
The governor tasked the council to ensure total victory for the APC in the 2023 general elections.
