APC Carpets Obi, Says Tinubu Needs No Reintroduction

The All Progressives Congress (APC) says Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), is looking for “cheap” media attention.
During a press conference, Obi said President BolaTinubu should reintroduce himself to Nigerians because the debate surrounding his academic records had worsened the country’s image.
Obi said the controversy over Tinubu’s academic records had made foreigners start profiling Nigerians as “fraudsters, certificate forgers or identity thieves”.
But in a statement on Wednesday, APC spokesperson, Felix Morka, said Nigerians who voted for the president know him and were not “groggy” during the polls.
Morka said Tinubu does not need a re-introduction.
“Unwilling to miss out in the orchestrated campaign of calumny against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his certificate from the Chicago State University, Obi jumped on the tailboard of Atiku’s bandwagon to satisfy his uncanny and insatiable thirst for cheap media attention, long after his Labour Party had dissociated itself from a bogus call to action by the former Vice-President,” the statement read.
“In his drivel, Peter Obi demanded that the President reintroduce himself to Nigerians, as though the 8.9 million Nigerians who voted him last February were all groggy when they made their free democratic choice.
“Mr. Obi must know that President Tinubu does not need a re-introduction. He does not have any identity problem, except the one contrived by the Atikus and Peters of our political firmament.
“The 8.9 million Nigerians who voted him into office were, and remain, aware of his outstanding record and accomplishments as a defender of democracy, freedom, social and economic justice for over three decades”.
