Alake also said Obi’s business is mainly importation destroying the economy. He also said and that Tinubu was a leading light during the struggle for democracy.

“Obi is highly verifiable, but Alake’s man is not; Obi has an origin; Alake’s has none; Obi has educational credentials; his counterpart has affidavits,” he said.
