2027: You ran away from erosion, I tamed Atlantic Ocean – Tinubu blasts Peter Obi

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched a scathing assault on the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, forward of the 2027 normal elections.

Speaking on the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential marketing campaign rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Friday, Tinubu mentioned Obi ran from erosion, however he, Tinubu, has tamed the Atlantic Ocean.

According to him, Obi is now within the NDC to run for president, stressing that Obi couldn’t deal with erosion in Anambra when he was governor.

“Peter Obi is in a single celebration they name NDC the place he is operating for president. He ran away from erosion in Anambra. He could not confront erosion. I, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, confronted the Atlantic Ocean. I tamed it for you,” Tinubu mentioned.

He mentioned Lagos confronted an even bigger risk from the Atlantic Ocean when he was governor, however he didn’t run; he stayed, confronted it, and tamed it.

He asserted that Nigeria wants a pacesetter who confronts issues, not one who runs away from them, including that Obi has moved from celebration to celebration, from PDP to Labour Party and now to NDC, however the erosion he left in Anambra remains to be there.
