President Bola Tinubu has taken a swipe at the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, comparing his record as governor of Anambra State with his own tenure as governor of Lagos State.
Tinubu made the remarks on Friday, November 6, while speaking during his visit to Akwa Ibom State, where he praised Governor Umo Eno’s development projects.
The President questioned Obi’s handling of erosion challenges in Anambra State, using the issue to contrast their respective records in office.
“Here we are on a resort reclaimed from erosion, and you want to compare the brain of this man, Pastor Bassey Eno, to that of Obi? He ran away from erosion in Anambra. He ran away and he wants to be President, President of where?” Tinubu asked.
He further compared the challenges he faced in Lagos with those confronting Anambra during Obi’s administration.
“In Anambra State, he could not confront erosion. I, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, confronted the Atlantic Ocean,” the President said.
Tinubu described what he characterised as Obi’s response to the erosion problem as evidence of a lack of leadership character and questioned whether such conduct demonstrated the qualities required of a national leader.
