A political economist, Professor Pat Utomi, has reacted to the claim that he was used by the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress (APC), fund Peter Obi’s campaign in order to reduce the chances of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, in the February 25, 2023, presidential election.
Speaking on a radio programme, 101.7 YES FM at Ibadan, Oyo State, the Labour Party governorship candidate in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale alleged that Tinubu asked Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
In a subtle reaction, Utomi said the allegation was desperation to bend into disinformation about what he did for the common good of the nation.
The chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) stated this on Thursday via his Twitter handle while reacting to Akinwale’s allegation.
