Peter Obi cannot save Nigeria – SGF Akume

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume has criticised Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, that he cannot save Nigeria.

Speaking with newsmen on Friday in Abuja, Akume said Obi failed to rescue Anambra state as a governor, he can’t rescue 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

“Like I have already said, it’s like differences without division, rivalry. We love this country and we have to borrow from the example of President Bola Tinubu.

“He’s a Muslim but at peace with all of us: Christians, Muslims and traditionalists. Nigeria is a huge country in the move, and under his direction, we know that we are going to reach the promised land.

“I know he inherited a very bad economy but we are out of it. Today, our Gross Domestic Product, GDP, has grown by 4.4%.

“What are people hanging around talking about? Coming to rescue Nigeria. Which Nigeria? If Peter Obi could not rescue Anambra, he’s talking of rescuing the 36 states and Abuja.

“For other people I don’t want to mention their names. They came, they saw, they didn’t conquer even in their states,” he said.
