Blind leading the blind? Tinubu dismisses Obasanjo’s endorsement of Obi

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has dismissed the endorsement of Peter Obi by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Recall that on Sunday, the former president formally announced his support for Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Speaking on Thursday at a rally in Benin, the Edo capital, the APC candidate said Obasanjo is trying to deceive Nigerians by endorsing Obi.

“Can that man recommend a leader for you in Nigeria? Is that not sending an agent to pick your pocket? A blind leading the blind.

“I am sorry I am not insulting visually-impaired people. But it won’t work; they will end up in the ditch. If I talk about Obasanjo and Obi, you will think they are human beings together. One who doesn’t know the way cannot show the way,” Tinubu said.

The ex-Lagos governor also criticised Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, saying the latter “fought” with Obasanjo when the duo was in charge of the country’s affairs.

“The right leadership [to correct] those errors of those who are fighting naked in Wuse market in Abuja. Obasanjo and Atiku — or you were not in high school when they fought naked?

“Show me a good job that Atiku has done before? Show me one; you can’t find it. He is not the smartest in customs. A customs officer who cannot define the ethics of civil service provision,” Tinubu said.
