The LP candidate in a short video shared by Momodu on his Instagram page, told his audience that the person the APC brought out (Tinubu) might have been a great candidate 20 years ago, adding, however, that the country at this hour needed someone who could work round the clock.
He said, "I’m interested to see Nigeria work, I don’t hide it; any day, anytime.
“I even confronted APC, asking why didn’t you bring Osinbajo? Let’s have the place working for everybody, so that we have people who want to work for the country and are healthy and good.”
