Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has attacked the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the allegation that he (Obi) is stingy to have saved money instead of developing Anambra State when he was the governor.
Mr. Obi said he is more credible as he and his running mate, Sen. Ahmed Datti have traceable backgrounds, unlike other presidential candidates whose backgrounds are not known to the people they seek to lead.

In a subtle reference to the academic background of his APC’s counterpart, Asiwaju Tinubu, the LP Presidential candidate said his records and that of his running mate, are not shrouded in mystery.
Recall that Asiwaju Tinubu had, during a rally, in Akure, the Ondo State capital, taken a swipe at Mr. Obi, describing him as an ‘emergency warehouse economist’.
Asiwaju Tinubu who said Mr. Obi had nothing to be proud of as governor of Anambra state for eight years, had said that “Obi has a chance to show up a progressive when he was a governor of Anambra state, all he could do was to boast that he save money when he was the Governor of Anambra state. Obi has nothing to be proud of instead he made the people of Anambra cry and he claimed to be the party labour leader. My people, you cannot entrust your future and that of our nation to Atiku and Obi. What has Atiku brought to Nigeria?”

However, Mr. Obi at a rally in same Akure, threw a jab at Tinubu saying, “They said that I am stingy. I am stingy that is why I was able to keep the money for my state when I was a governor. Unlike some people, I and my vice presidential candidate are credible and we are people of traceable background.
“I am the only Governor that left good money in office as far as the history of Anambra State is concerned.”
