Tinubu, Family, Growing Fat As Parasites Over Lagos, Obi Campaign Fumes Over Comparison Of Children

The Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation has dammed comparisons of his family with that of Bola Tinubu saying that Nigerians must reject those planning to rule by proxy as it accused the family members of the APC presidential candidate of growing fat as parasites on the commonwealth of Lagos.

The Obi-Datti Campaign as such urged Nigerians to reject those who are planning to rule the country by proxy affirming that Nigerians cannot again afford turning governance into a business for family and friends.

GWG.NG reports that the assertions followed criticisms hurled at Obi by the APC campaign spokesman, Festus Keyamo and also by the PDP’s Reno Omokri of the incapacity of the Labour Party’s children to organize the kind of rally staged for Tinubu by his son, Seyi Tinubu in Lagos last weekend.

The Obi Campaign said it was a mistake for Keyamo to bring the Labour Party’s presidential candidate’s children into the picture given what it claims as their justifiable inclination to their professions and not feeding off the state in the way it claimed Tinubu and his family have been doing since he left office as governor of Lagos in 2007.

The LP Campaign said the only thing that joins Obi and Tinubu is that they were once governors of states in Nigeria, “after that one became a parasite to the state government he served with his entire family while the the other left government house and he and any members of his family never collected a dime from Anambra state.”

The campaign in a statement in Abuja said: “Unlike Tinubu and his household who have grown to be stupendously wealthy with no identifiable industry or means of making money outside the state government for over two decades”, Obi is not like that.

Adjudging Tinubu and his family to be parasites on the commonwealth of Lagos, the Obi Campaign said, “If Keyamo had taken time to study the family he speaks for very well he would have avoided this comparison that is bound to expose the parasitic life of his Principal and understand why the entire household is headlong in the campaign.

“The other time Tinubu’s wife, Senator Remi, was threatening fire and brimstone over Lagos, then the daughter and now the son is showing off with rally. Do you blame a people struggling to keep a family business? The Tinubu family have cornered the commonwealth of Lagos state which they now run as a family enterprise.

“Obi’s family is not part of his politics, they are running their lives, contributing to development without nearing public funds.”

The Obi-Datti Media office said Peter Obi is the man seeking the mandate of the Nigerian people to serve them as President not any other member of his family. “He has said it repeatedly that Nigerians must reject anybody desiring to be President by proxy.”
