Comrade Oshiomhole said at the rally that Buhari stands head and shoulder above on the strength of his impeccable integrity.
He called the President “the one that is celebrated by fellow world leaders, the president who can go to America, and can stand with ex-President Obama and President Trump; not those who can’t get visa outside Nigeria. The one and only President Mohammadu Buhari.”
The taunt was perceived as a veiled reference to the protracted issue of a US visa for Atiku.
He said: “The only thing to speak on today before I perform my simple task is to say that this coming election, one of the issues that would form the basis of our campaign is the issue of character.
“And I noticed over the past 48 hours the opposition, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, they’ve decided to look for mud, wherever they could find, to throw at your person.
“The more they do it, the more the people laugh at them.
“Mr. President Nigerians know who you are, the world knows who you are; but Nigeria also knows who you are.
“I am happy that the PDP candidate cannot speak in certain parts of the world and there is nowhere you will go where you cannot speak.”
He also spoke on the statement by Atiku that he would sell some stakes in the NNPC with a view to getting money to fund Nigeria’s development projects.
He said: “the PDP candidate has already put Nigeria on notice that he is going to sell NNPC. Are we ready to sell NNPC? I believe the people of the South South where most of the oil is produced will not support a government whose policy is to privatise and take over our oil resources as the PDP candidate has promised. “
