Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peter Obi media office has lampooned Dele Alake after his comments about the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

Alake is the Director of Strategy and Communication of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Presidential Council.<\/p>\n

The former Lagos Commissioner for Information had declared that Obi\u2019s achievements were way less than Tinubu\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Obi\u2019s media office noted that Alake is among those who believe Nigeria begins and ends in Lagos.<\/p>\n

The camp said he might not have been to Anambra and was too biased to read up the LP candidate\u2019s records in the public domain.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi\u2019s records won him numerous awards, including \u201cGovernor of the Decade, while Alake\u2019s paymaster ruled Lagos State\u201d, a statement reads.<\/p>\n

It noted that the most to remember about Alake\u2019s principal \u201cis his huge internal revenue harnessing which has boosted one Bourdillon family\u2019s income\u201d.<\/p>\n

Alake had also said Obi\u2019s business was anchored on imports that destroy the economy and that Tinubu was a leading light during the struggle for democracy.<\/p>\n

In reply, the office said Alake should not have celebrated Asiwaju\u2019s role in the democracy struggle because of subsequent revelations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was revealed that he lobbied to be made a Minister in late Sani Abacha\u2019s government and only joined NADECO after he was rejected by the juntas.<\/p>\n

\u201cObi is highly verifiable, but Alake\u2019s man is not; Obi has an origin; Alake\u2019s has none; Obi has educational credentials; his counterpart has affidavits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The statement added that Obi is ready to face the challenge of leading Nigeria, while \u201cthe other candidate acts by proxy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlake\u2019s man says it\u2019s his turn to rule Nigeria, Obi says it\u2019s the turn of Nigerians to take back their country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rejoinder said it was laughable that \u201cattack dogs\u201d keep targeting the man they claim has no structure, instead of selling \u201ctheir structured candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet Alake\u2019s man enter the stage and sell himself. Never again will anybody become Nigeria\u2019s President through fake and unsubstantiated packaging\u201d, it concluded.<\/p>\n
