2023: Ex-lawmaker, Adamu Garba, accuses Obi of ‘dishing out false hopes with lies’

Former presidential aspirant under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamu Garba, has attacked Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for allegedly telling lies in his campaigns ahead of 2023 general elections.

Adamu was reacting to a tweet by the former Anambra State Governor where he promised to close the country’s infrastructural gap between now and 2030.

“The Obi-Datti administration, from its inception, will continue to encourage investment in infrastructure energy, transport, irrigation, and telecoms to grow these and other sectors. We are eager to quickly close the infrastructure gap between now and 2030”, Peter Obi had said.
