Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has removed a tweet in which he addressed Bola Tinubu as Mr. President.
Obi, who is contesting Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress candidate, as the winner of the February 25th election, had earlier denounced the president’s 120-car convoy when he returned from France in a statement on his official Twitter handle.
Obi, in the deleted tweet, wrote: βAllegedly showing Mr. President moving with about a 120-car convoy. While I have not had the opportunity of seeing the said video, my advice remains consistent β that sacrifices for a better Nigeria must start from the leaders at all levels of government.β
He later deleted the tweet and replaced it with a trendy motorcade video instead of the ‘120-car procession of ‘Mr. President.
In the new tweet, he wrote: βWe canβt continue to preach for the people to sacrifice without sacrificing too. The sacrifices must now start from the leaders, visibly, and measurably at all times, because the people are suffering. We must now be at the forefront of addressing the suffering.β
