The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reacted to a statement by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) alleging he always gives false and unverified statistics.
Replying to the APC, the former governor of Anambra State challenged the ruling party to provide their own ‘correct’ statistics to counter his figures.
Obi threw the challenge at the APC while speaking at the first and second convocation ceremonies of the Dominican University, Ibadan, Oyo State.
He argued that for every ten statements he has made, nine of them would be undoubtedly correct.
The LP flag bearer insisted that he is not making up his statistics, but providing authentic information as one who has been in position of leadership, and knows what is involved.
He said: “If they said I give unverified statistics let them come with their alternatives, if you say I’m wrong let them provide their own, they cannot say I’m wrong if they failed to give their own, for every statement or statistic I made, if you look at ten I will get nine, quote me anywhere, and have always maintained over 75 percent.
“I know what I’m talking about, I’ve been there and I know what it takes; they have not shown anything.”
