National leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has attacked Peter Obi, the vice
presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over his claim on
job creation.
Tinubu said the former Governor
of Anambra state was only vast in creating “container economy” and not jobs.
He spoke during the APC’s
presidential rally in Lagos, on Saturday.
The former Lagos State governor
also lambasted former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
responsible for the epileptic
power in the country.
Tinubu recalled how Obasanjo and
Atiku opposed his plan for power generation in Badagry but that he later won in
court.
According to Tinubu: “Then,
Obasanjo came. We taught them that there was no other way to have business
evolution and revolution in this country without steady power supply.
“I introduced independent
generating power projects in Badagry. What did he do? He and Atiku opposed it.
I went to court. Who was my lawyer in court? Osinbajo. I won in court and we
started generating 300MW, the first state to do it.
“Imagine, that was in 1999. If
Nigeria was dedicated to electricity generation, you would not see Dunlop and
Michelin move out of the country. Look at our roads, look at the vehicular
density in Lagos alone.”
Commenting on Obi, he said, “And
they call one man Obi, in one party, saying he will create jobs. He has not
been able to tell us how we can make brake pads for those vehicles, how we can
make wheel spanners on our own for those vehicles.
“And he said maybe he can go and
expand the port in Benin Republic so we can clear our cargoes faster. I call
that ‘container economy, Obi China.”
