“He’s incapable of selling his manifesto despite the conducive atmosphere the government provided for him in the state.
He said he would not condescend to respond to Tinubu’s abuses because they are empty and he has nothing to bring to the table for Nigerians, hence his decision to abuse people and rain insults at his rallies, according to reporting by Daily Post.

“If it is possible for any Akwa Ibomite to go to Lagos that Tinubu stays or the actual state that he hails from, to insult him in like manner and still be allowed to safely return home.
