The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has reacted to the controversial comments made by the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tinubu, during the campaign finale of the Osun state governorship candidate of the APC, Adegboyega Oyetola, at the Osun Governorship stadium, derided Labour Party folks, saying “Those who call themselves Labour, they will labour to death. May God not allow you to become a labourer.”

Reacting to the statement, Obi, who was in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, to support the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Lasun Yusuff said there is dignity in labour.

Obi said Tinubu has forgotten that there is always a reward for labour. While addressing LP members, Obi advised that such a comment should be returned with love.

In his words: “I listened to our chairman when he said that somebody said that ‘they can labour till death.’ When they show you hatred, Labour Party will show them love. There is dignity in labour.”

He also called on the people of Osun to support the party’s candidate in the governorship poll to give the state better leadership.

Addressing the rally, Yusuff said the comment about the Labour Party by the APC leader was inconsistent with the attributes of a virtuous Yoruba man.

He, however, promised to surprise those saying he would not get votes in Saturday’s election and urged LP members to work hard for victory at the poll.

“He came back yesterday and said we should go and labour till death. That is not an attribute of a virtuous Yoruba person. I described them as people with anonymous background, we don’t know them, their life is anonymous,” Yusuff stated.
