Lailah, Daughter of the People’s Democratic Party PDP presidential candidate and Former vice president of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has said that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi needs to be taught a political lesson.
She twitted: “Peter Obi is very disgusting, and the north need to teach him a very strong political lesson of his life”
Lailah was reacting through her Twitter handle to a tweet by Peter Obi captured below.
“I encourage Nigerians to remain calm and steadfast in the journey to reclaiming their mandate of a New Nigeria. I will never give up on this journey until victory is achieved.
“I never expected the journey to a New Nigeria to be an easy one. The forces, who had over the years, lived off the old order, are bound to fight back, as is being experienced now.
“If they come at us through land, air and sea, we will respond to them through land, air and sea but, we will remain law abiding and will never give up on the nation. We are on the right path and we will remain committed to the course.
“I reiterate my commitment to building a Nigeria that will be beneficial to every Nigerian. The struggle to reclaim this mandate is not about me as a person but, about millions of Nigerians who placed their trust in me through their votes.
“The millions of Nigerians who voted for me did not just cast their votes but, they invested their hopes in me and they deserve justice. So, we must stay the course.
“Beyond regaining our mandate, I am committed to lifting people out of poverty and I remain committed to transforming Nigeria starting from the North to every part of the nation.
“There may be more mud slinging from those who are against the emergence of the New Nigeria but, I would never be deterred by the obstacles along the way to victory. I have always lived my life in the most law abiding manner.
“Sometimes as humans, we make mistakes but, I will never knowingly break any law. I am therefore not afraid of the lies and propaganda against my person. They are part of the journey to a New Nigeria. -PO
However, after a backlash by Nigerians online, Lailah quickly deleted the tweet Claiming it was taken out of context and apologized.
“I am sorry, I guess my tweet was taken out of context. @PeterObi was and still an excellent person.
I didn’t have an intention to attack his personality.
I’m sorry again.”
