Atiku Not Tested, Obi Ahead Of Him - Festus Keyamo

 He added that Peter Obi has been a governor who made the final calls while the highest position Atiku has attained is being the Vice President. 

Festus Keyamo the Minister of State for Labour and Employment and the Spokesman for Tinubu’s Campaign Council has said that Peter Obi is ahead of Atiku Abubakar in terms of Executive experience. Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated this on Channels TV last night. Keyamo said in terms of making final calls in government, Atiku has never been in a position to do much in all his political life. 

He added that Peter Obi has been a governor who made the final calls while the highest position Atiku has attained is being the Vice President. . Speaking on Channels TV, he said: “A president does not do everything himself, he makes the final call. He only listens to the experts around him and the job of a president is not to be the economist, not to be the lawyer, not to be the expert, no. The job of the president is to listen to the experts and make the final call. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu can make the final call. The major rival we have today has not held any executive position where he makes the final call in government so we can not second guess.

“Atiku Abubakar has never held any government position where he makes the final call. He was Vice President, he was not the chief executive, he was never Governor, he was never anything.

“Even Peter Obi is ahead of Atiku Abubakar. Peter Obi is ahead of him in terms of capacity to make decisions. So how are we going to hand over the country to somebody who has never shown the capacity, who has never held the position where he makes the final call? A Vice President does not make the final call. “Atiku Abubakar is not tested, he’s not trusted. He has never held any such position, even Obi is ahead of him.”
