By Abbas Jimoh The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in last year’s general elections, Peter Obi, has replied the presidency for linking him to former American President and Republican candidate for November’s US presidential election, Donald Trump. Obi, in a statement through the Peter Obi Media Office yesterday, titled: “Why Desperate OBI Traducers Are Kissing the Dust”, condemned the presidency over the “futile attempt” to cast him in bad light using the American presidential election. Recall that Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, compared Obi to Trump.
In a post on X, Ajayi weighed into the US presidential debate held on Tuesday between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris of the Democratic Party, saying “Peter Obi is the Nigerian version of Donald Trump.” He said, “Like Obi, Trump will use the most negative epithets imaginable to describe a country he wants to lead again just to make a point and rile up his base.” But reacting yesterday, Obi said desperate propagandists along with their presidential enablers were indulging in the distortion of facts all in a bid to destroy his impeccable image.
He said, “We are very much aware of the motive behind these ridiculous comparisons, which is their uncanny way of currying favour so undeserved from the democrats. “Nigerians who mused about the derisory and facetious comparison have tried to ask: ‘Will your calling Peter Obi a Trump translate to or mean that Tinubu is Harris?’ “Rather than strive to market and justify their rusty and anti-people deleterious policies that have put Nigeria and Nigerians in the most horrendous conditions, they have resolved to convey misleading accounts of our principal’s activities just to distract the credulous public.” Join Daily Trust WhatsApp Community For Quick Access To News and Happenings Around You.
