Benin City<\/strong> – The Presidential candidate of the ruling APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has said Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was not qualified to endorse any President because of his failures.<\/p>\n

This was stated on Thursday in Edo State while speaking at the APC Presidential Campaign rally, as he said the former president failed to develop the country.<\/p>\n

He also said Chief Obansanjo was busy fighting his then vice president, Atiku Abubakar because he wants to siphon country’s finances for his personal comfort.<\/p>\n

Tinubu also noted that after spending $16billion on electricity, Obasanjo and the PDP government could not deliver electricity for Nigerians to make even popcorn, Punch<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought Enron to solve the electricity problem and help Lagos economy but Obasanjo and PDP frustrated it, Tinubu said.<\/p>\n

“They punished me and Lagos people and even began deducting our money. I created Local Governments in Lagos to accelerate development and create employment for our people but Obasanjo siezed our allocation and punished us for that.<\/p>\n

“That was wickedness and such a man said he endorsed a man for you to vote as President. Can you follow such a man? Can Obasanjo recommend a leader for anyone in Nigeria? A man who does not know the way cannot show the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lagos former Governor also said the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku was not qualified to be President of Nigeria having indicted himself as a civil servant.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtiku and Obasanjo accused themselves of using Nigeria\u2019s money to buy cars for their comfort.<\/p>\n

“Atiku was a custom officer who said he made money selling cars, that is smuggling.<\/p>\n

“He didn\u2019t even know that a civil servant cannot do any other business apart from agriculture. That is enough to disqualify him and he is not fit to be President.\u201d<\/p>\n
