APC chieftain, Joe Igbokwe has hit back at the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
On Friday, June 24, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos chapter, Joe Igbokwe, described the Labour Party (LP)'s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as overrated.
Igbokwe, a top campaigner of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling APC, berated Obi for a past comment condemning President Muhammadu Buhari’s system of stimulating the economy via erecting and renovating critical infrastructure.
Obi said at the time during an interview on Arise TV, said: “You can’t use infrastructure to drive economic growth. You invest in education and the SME (Small, Medium Enterprises) sector instead to deal with poverty.”
Making a flashback to the statement, Igbokwe reprimanded the former Anambra state governor, concluding that he is “just a trader”. He took to his Facebook page and wrote: "Somebody who wants to be the President of Nigeria is telling you that infrastructure does not drive the economy in the 21st Century and you are taking that person serious. Peter is overrated in Nigeria. He is just a trader."
