Peter Obi Replies Tinubu’s “they will labour in vain” comment
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has reacted to the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu’s comment he made about their party during a campaign rally in Osogbo.
Obi made the remark on Wednesday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, at a mega rally to support the governorship candidate of the party, Lasun Yusuff.
He said: “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said ‘they can labour till death’.
“When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labour.”
Recall that Tinubu, at the grand rally for the re-election of APC candidate, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Tuesday, had said: “They said some are in Labour, they will remain labourers till death.”
He also called on the people of Osun to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll to give the state better leadership.
In the same vein, the LP’s candidate, Lasun frowned at Tinubu, saying his comment about the Labour Party by the APC leader was inconsistent with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man.
