A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos
State, Joe Igbokwe has criticized the presidential candidate of the Labour
Party, LP, Peter Obi over his anti- infrastructure comment
Igbokwe said Obi was an overrated presidential candidate.
He recounted a recent comment by Obi where he condemned
President Muhammadu Buhari’s system of stimulating the economy through
infrastructure.
The former Anambra State governor had said: “You can’t use
infrastructure to drive economic growth.
“You invest in education and the SME (Small, Medium
Enterprises) sector instead to deal with poverty.”
Recalling the comment, Igbokwe stressed that the LP
presidential candidate was “just a trader.”
In his Facebook post, Igbokwe wrote: “Somebody who wants to
be the President of Nigeria is telling you that infrastructure does not drive
the economy in the 21st Century and you are taking that person seriously. Peter
[Obi] is overrated in Nigeria. He is just a trader.
“Obiano built the Anambra International Airport, built the
Awka flyover bridge. Which one did Mr Obi build in 8 years? “
