Peter Obi replies Bola Tinubu over labour till death comment

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party on Wednesday, replied Bola Tinubu over a comment he made about their party which its members deemed derogatory.

Obi made the remark in Osogbo, the Osun State capital at a mega rally to support the governorship candidate of the party, Lasun Yusuff.

He said, “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said that ‘they can labour till death.’ When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labour.”

Recall that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of APC at the grand rally for the re-election of Adegboyega Oyetola on Tuesday, had said “they said some are in Labour, they will remain labourers till death”.

He also called on the people of Osun to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll to give the state better leadership.

Similarly, the LP’s candidate, Lasun berated Tinubu, saying his comment about the Labour Party by the APC leader was inconsistent with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man.
