2023 presidency: Nigeria's only female candidate slams Tinubu, Obi, Atiku, says they're "recycled politicians"
Meanwhile, Princess Chichi Ojei, the presidential candidate of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM) has labelled her counterparts Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar as "recycled politicians" responsible for the current predicament of Nigeria.
Ojei, the only female candidate in next month's presidential polls, said the trio (Obi, Tinubu, Atiku) were responsible for holding Nigeria captive and derailing its ability to grow as a developing nation.
During a chat with Legit.ng through her senior special assistant, Barr. Maurice Oru Ebam said:
"Tinubu, Atiku and Obi are recycled politicians representing an outdated system, an old era of politicians that have held Nigerians captive in perpetual chains and bondage of abysmal illiteracy, godfatherism, poverty, insecurity, hardship, fake promises, corruption and impunity."
