Tinubu: “It Is Nobody’s Turn” – Peter Obi

Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress, has come under fire from Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, who claims that Nigeria’s presidency is not “turn by turn.”

The former governor of Anambra State stated in a speech on Monday when he arrived in Delta State for his campaign that if the presidency were to be held turn by turn, it would be his “turn” by succeeding President Major General Buhari (retd) this year.

Obi said, “Somebody said it is his turn to be president, I want to tell you that the president is not turn by turn. If it is turn by turn, it is supposed to be my turn but we are not using turn by turn. It is the turn of Nigerians to be president especially those full of energy.

“No tribe buys bread or rice cheaper, no religion buys bread cheaper. Vote for commitment and capacity.

“We are not going to give excuses. I am not going to remind you of where you’re coming from or blame people where they failed. Am assuring you that a new Nigeria is possible.

“Hold me responsible if we failed you in the area of security, economy. We will make the country work again. There will be no more strikes in the education sector again in this country.”

The former governor also lamented that, based on the resources that were given to the Niger Delta region, it was backward. If elected president, he pledged to start improving the area.

He said, “We have gone to Warri, Isoko, Agbor, and Asaba only today, that shows you our seriousness and commitment, and all the places, people came out en-mass.

“Niger Delta supposed to be a haven, things are not working in the region. From here to Warri is supposed to be dualized. East-Eest road has been constructed for the past 24 years, but nothing is working in this region.”
