Peter Obi deletes tweet addressing Tinubu as Mr President

  • Post category:Politics

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, has deleted a tweet addressing Bola Tinubu as Mr President.

Obi, who is challenging the declaration of Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, as the winner of the February 25th election, had earlier, in a statement on his official Twitter handle, condemned the 120-car convoy of the president when he returned from France.

Obi, in the deleted tweet, wrote: “Allegedly showing Mr President moving with about a 120-car convoy. While I have not had the opportunity of seeing the said video, my advice remains consistent – that sacrifices for a better Nigeria must start from the leaders at all levels of government.” He later deleted the tweet and published a new one that substituted the ‘120-car convoy of ‘Mr President’ with ‘a trending motorcade video’.

In the new tweet, he wrote: “We can’t continue to preach for the people to sacrifice without sacrificing too. The sacrifices must now start from the leaders, visibly, and measurably at all times, because the people are suffering. We must now be at the forefront of addressing the suffering.” He made this disclosure in a statement issued to felicitate with Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir festival.

Mumuni in the statement signed by his media aide, Rasheed Abubakar, on Thursday said that Muslim faithfuls should give glory to Almighty Allah for the opportunity to witness another Eid.

He said, “I want Nigerians to endure the reform policies that are being introduced by the Tinubu-led administration, especially in the area of subsidy.

“He made the best decision when he removed the subsidy. In the end, I am certain we will all be better with these game-changing policies.

“Once again, I bid the Muslim community happy Eid-el-Adha celebrations. Let me also felicitate with our brothers and sisters who are far away in Saudi Arabia for hajj rites. May Allah accept the rites from them as an act of worship. May He forgive them all their sins, grant their prayer requests and turn them into newborns as promised. I wish all of the pilgrims safe return to their places of origin”.
