I have seen/heard what Peter Obi said and while it is unfortunate, I will focus on the important which is the message he claimed is from a “Tinubu group”. This is campaign season, there are lots of nonsense groups flying about and people talking a lot of nonsense.
There are also people who are not affiliated with candidates saying their own and you cannot hold the candidates and/or party responsible for that. But if what they do and say relates to the candidates, you can say they are similar.
On the issue of the eastern port, I can personally say Tinubu has always been a believer in opening the eastern ports for business. And I can prove it.
On June 1 during the campaign for primaries, Tinubu visited Calabar and he promised to dredge the Port there. This is not just hearsay but newspapers reported it (see below)
National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, has promised Cross River delegates a functional seaport in the state.
He also promised to rehabilitate displaced Bakassi persons.
Tinubu, who was also a two-term former governor of Lagos State, made the promise, yesterday, in Calabar while soliciting support from the delegates ahead of the party presidential primary slated for Monday, June 6.
He said: “Many can promise but only very few can deliver. I am standing before you as a fulfilled man, very confident of myself, I can turn Nigeria around.
“We will rehabilitate those displaced by Bakassi. We will dredge and service the port of Calabar.”
Speaking earlier, his campaign DG, the former Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima and the Governor of Kanu State, Abdullahi Ganduje, urged the delegates to vote for the only man that could deliver Nigeria.
Responding, the state party Chairman, Alphonsus Eba, described Tinubu as the pillar of the party.
He assured the aspirant of the state’s total support.
