Dele Alake, Director of strategic communication in All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential marketing campaign council has vowed to not apologise to supporters of Peter Obi, former Anambra state governor and Labour Celebration (LP) presidential candidate over latest feedback he made about Obi forward of the 2023 normal elections.
Alake who was a visitor on NEWS CENTRAL TV was requested if he’ll retract among the statements he made towards Obi as his supporters, popularly referred to as Obidients are sad with him.
Responding , Alake stated he won’t retract any of the issues he stated as his statements about Obi are based mostly on empirical evidences and verifiable info.
He stated “I stated so many issues about Peter Obi and I can’t take something again as a result of every thing I stated is the reality. I converse with conviction and I’m not a propagandist. I’m a publicist. There’s a extensive distinction between propaganda and publicity. Publicity is anchored on motion, on verifiable info, empiricism. Now propaganda could be vacuous , amorphous, nebulous, truly neither right here nor there”.
“’So, no matter I say about Tinubu is anchored on empiricism and verifiable info. I can’t take something again about Obi. I stated Obi stated he needs to maneuver Nigeria again from consumption to manufacturing and I stated that’s not true. He can’t do it as a result of his personal enterprise survives on consumption. Is {that a} lie? He has been an importer and I stated he offers with money and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the products that may be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That’s consumption economics. That form of individual can’t inform you that he’s transferring you from consumption to manufacturing. He’ll then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi won’t try this to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everyone and I can’t take that again as a result of that’s true. What I stated about Asiwaju, I gave examples of his imaginative and prescient, data and braveness. There’s none about Obi. You’ll be able to’t level to any enduring legacy of Obi in his eight years as governor of Anambra”.
