Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has taken a swipe at the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, claiming the former Anambra State governor lacks the moral right to talk about poverty in Nigeria.Nigerian home decor ideas
In a statement he personally signed, titled, “Factually Addressing Mr. Peter Obi’s Criticism of Nigeria at Johns Hopkins University,” Sanwo-Olu accused Obi of contributing to the current poverty in the country, and alleged that under his tenure as governor in Anambra State, poverty grew astronomically.
Recall that Obi was at the Johns Hopkins University last week and during his speech, drew a comparison between Nigeria, China and Vietnam in the area of poverty, stressing that Nigeria, with about 50 million poor people, had the least number of people in poverty in 1990 than any of the three countries.
