Professor Pat Utomi has lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu for calling the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi a stingy man.

Utomi said: “The reason I would not touch the candidate of the APC or PDP is that I know they will not take Nigeria forward.”

“They will get into these actions, and their friends will get rich but Nigeria would still be stuck.”

“So, we needed a new kind of platform. That was the first thing that recommended a new order. Peter Obi came along. Even though he has played in the system, there are some new strengths he brought into the system.”

“If you look at his Anambra experience, Peter Obi had to rebuild democracy. In the state, they used to lock their governors in toilets and they have godfathers cart away money.”

“Schools were closed. Everything was shut. For two years, they didn’t go to school or something. Pension and benefits weren’t paid. Then, he came to that process, and Anambra became a new kind of place. Every pension was paid.”

“From what I know of him, he has a transformational mindset. Something got me about the fact that someone said he is stingy, my goodness, the only thing you need now is a stingy man to run Nigeria, the guys are bleeding the place. He needs to stop the bleeding.”
