The APC presidential candidate maintained that the task ahead is doable but difficult, adding that only the right candidate and party can make the bold decisions Nigeria needs.

In the veiled reference, Tinubu said a candidate (Obi) and party (Labour Party) with no plans for Nigeria would take the country to the wrong destination.

His statement reads in part:

“When you asked him (Peter Obi) what he wants to do, he will say I will do the right thing, then the question is, what is the right thing you want to do, it is clear he does not know what to do. He has no plan for Nigeria.”
