Rotimi Amaechi, the director general of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), has challenged Peter Obi, vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to a public debate.
Speaking in Kano on Thursday, Amaechi said Peter
Obi lied about infrastructure and transportation, while fielding
questions from Kadaria Ahmed on the presidential town hall-style debate.
“I
need to address some important issues, I’m addressing Nigerians, not
just Kano indigenes; I speak today as a Catholic Christian. I speak with
responsibility as a former governor of Rivers state, and former
chairman of the governors’ forum.
“I have told my friend and my
former deputy, his excellency Peter Obi, that the moment you climb the
post of governor, you must deal with facts and figures, you must not lie
to the people lead.
Amaechi said Peter Obi lied by saying that
former president Goodluck Jonathan had released money for all the rail
projects completed by the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
