President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, mocked the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his ambition to become Nigeria’s president.
Tinubu said Obi, whose “brain” cannot be compared to that of Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno, wants to be president.
Speaking at the Arise Palm Resort in Akwa Ibom State as part of his presidential campaign activities, Tinubu commended the governor for the structure.
He also described the governor as part of the City Boy Movement due to his ability to tame the ocean and build such a resort.
According to Tinubu: “The host governor, the courageous man of a great nation, a man with a mission and the symbol of fulfilment and a great diversity of people. Umo Eno, Your Excellency, you have a relationship with Lagos, where I come from, so I say that you are a member of the City Boy Movement.
“To other leaders here, members of the National Assembly, the state judiciary, the governor, thank you very much. We are at Arise Palm Resort, to the glory of God, which is a product of 73 acres of land that is achievable when honest people are working for their home.
“Umo Eno, you are a thinker and a doer. This is what is possible when a man of great vision is supported, and being the unifier, you have no problem uniting the people behind you. All of us will continue to be behind you and celebrate you. I salute your courage.
“To me, my being here is to enjoy the resort and, speaking from my heart, to ask for your votes in the coming election on January 16, 2027.
“Here we are at a resort carved out of erosion, and we are going to enjoy life here. Will you compare the brain of this man (Eno) to that of Obi? He ran away from erosion in Anambra, and he now wants to be president? President of where? Lilikabu?”
