Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has condemned the comments by Edo Governor, Godwin Obaseki.<\/p>\n

Obaseki advised Nigerians against voting for Tinubu and the APC, warning that the country would break if they won the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

The Governor spoke at the inauguration of the Edo chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council.<\/p>\n

A statement by Bayo Onanuga, Director, Media and Publicity of the Tinubu-Shettima Campaign noted that Obaseki ridiculed his office.<\/p>\n

Onanuga said Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima had demonstrated capacities and competencies as Governors of Lagos and Borno States.<\/p>\n

He said their achievements and legacies in public service continue to stand the test of time having engineered the emergence of worthy successors.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson accused Obaseki of recklessness and wishing the country bad because of politics.<\/p>\n

Onanuga told the governor to stop his \u201cscaremongering\u201d and \u201cthe dirty gutter of bitter politicking and crisis-baiting\u201d.<\/p>\n

The APC insisted that Obaseki does not have any landmark achievement other than paying those on whose shoulder he rose to political relevance in Nigeria with evil.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe energetic Governor Nyesom Wike has expressed the deepest regrets in ever helping Obaseki to retain power.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a divisive, obnoxious and toxic human being that lacks introspection and contemplation expected of a person occupying the office of a governor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Onanuga called the governor a man bereft of any iota of emotional intelligence and perhaps a misfit for the role he currently occupies.<\/p>\n

On the claim that the federal government prints money everyday, the APC said only a disconnected and diseased mind could imagine the scenario that Obaseki concocted.<\/p>\n
