In response to Bola Tinubu’s recent remarks criticising him as “Mr. Stingy,” Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), on Sunday expressed his anger.
The LP candidate who, in a Channels TV interview, disputed Tinubu’s claim, saying that no one can criticise him for not stealing public monies. The corruption perception index, he added, is one of the things that is killing the nation.

“Obi” said: “It’s good that when my opponents talk. Let us talk about corruption. One of the things that are killing this country today is Corruption Perception Index, which is measured by how you manage public assets, nepotism, how you share the land, how you manage your money, and everything.
“I’ve challenged everyone to say, ‘Go and see whether there is anywhere a kobo of Anambra State money is missing.’ Saving has now become an issue. When people have stolen all the money and impoverished the country and you are now questioning a man who left the money without anybody telling me to leave it and go”
In his Saturday campaign speech in Ondo State, Tinubu said that the former governor of Anambra State saved money rather than people.
Peter Obi was compared by Tinubu to parents who would be frugal with their money and let their kids go through hardship.
