Tinubu Is My Elder Brother – Peter Obi Says, Compares Jagaban To Pele

Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said his All Progressives Congress(APC) counterpart, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is like a brother to him.

Obi, while speaking during an interview with Chude Jidenowo, praised the APC flagbearer for his contributions to Nigeria in the past.

However, he insisted that Tinubu time has passed and it is time for someone else to take over.

He argued that the fact that Tinubu had contributed in the past in making Nigeria better does not mean he should be in power forever.

To elaborate his point, he spoke about the Brazilian footballer, Pele who was a star during his time but it would be impossible for him to be fielded in a present match.

Why I Am Supporting Tinubu Despite Muslim-Muslim Ticket

Meanwhile, the Senator representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, Smart Adeyemi, has revealed his reason for supporting Bola Tinubu, despite the Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Adeyemi said he is supporting Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima because God has destined the duo to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Speaking during an appearance on Trust TV’s Daily Politics on Monday, Senator Adeyemi expressed his belief in Tinubu and Shettima to lead the country.

The APC stalwart stated that he had no problem with the Muslim-Muslim ticket fielded by the ruling party for the 2023 presidential election.
