A Twitter handle with the name @officalABqT has been tweeting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has stepped down for his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
The account, which is suspected to have been cloned by a supporter of the LP’s candidate, claimed that Tinubu had stepped down for Obi because the latter has more to offer Nigerians.

The post, which has been retweeted more than 1,000 times, reads, “After careful observation of the Labour party manifesto I have come to agree that @PeterObi has more to offer Nigeria than I do, I’m hereby stepping down for HE Peter Obi I advice @atiku To do same let give the youths a chance.”
In another tweet, it mocks the ruling party’s presidential candidate, saying that Obi should be voted because Tinubu has only “garri, cassava and agbado” to offer.
“I urge the well-meaning Nigerians to vote for HE Peter Obi as the next president, because honestly I don’t have anything to offer than garri cassava and agbado —na mumu go vote for me.”
The tweet generated a lot of comments with many tagging the account as fake.
