Secretary to the Federal Government (SGF), George Akume, has stated that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, does not have the capacity and capability to run Nigeria.
Akume, a former Benue state governor, while addressing the press on Friday, said that if Obi could not rescue Anambra State, let alone rescue the 36 states of the nation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He also said that Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, did not rescue his state, so he does not have that ‘Midas touch’ to become the nation’s president.
“Like I have already said, it’s like differences without division, rivalry. We love this country, and we have to borrow from the example of President Bola Tinubu.
“He’s a Muslim, but at peace with all of us: Christians, Muslims and traditionalists. Nigeria is a huge country in the move; and under his direction, we know that we are going to reach the Promised Land. I know he inherited a very bad economy, but we are out of it. Today, our Gross Domestic Product, GDP, has grown by 4.4%”, he further said.
“What are people hanging around talking about? Coming to rescue Nigeria. Which Nigeria? If Peter Obi could not rescue Anambra, he’s now talking of rescuing the 36 states and Abuja.
“For other people, I don’t want to mention their names; they came, they saw, they didn’t conquer, even in their states”, he stressed.
