President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has accused the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi of making reckless and false claims about the Federal Government’s investment in sports.

Reacting to Obi’s call for increased Federal Government investment in the sports sector, Onanuga took to X and wrote:

“Headlines don’t lie like Peter Obi lies, recklessly.”

“His poor sports record as governor is well documented in the archives.”

“Today, he talks, very glibly, of course, about the need for the FG to invest in sport, when, as governor for 8 years, he treated Anambra sportsmen and women and even, unconscionably, the physically challenged sportsmen and women shabbily.”
