The statement added, “Nigerians who voted for the president knew him and were not ‘groggy’ during the election.”
Morka stated, “Mr. Obi must know that President Tinubu does not need a re-introduction. He does not have any identity problem, except the one contrived by the Atikus and Peters of our political firmament.” The statement further said Tinubu has long-standing record and accomplishments as a defender of democracy, freedom, social, and economic justice.
