The African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has tackled his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, for commending his vice-presidential candidate, Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed’s hospital in Abuja.
Sowore appears to read hypocrisy into this, asking why Obi is not talking about a ‘teaching hospital’ he was said to have built while he was Anambra State governor.
Obi had earlier on his Twitter page on Wednesday shared pictures from his visit to the Baze University Hospital, describing the varsity owned by Baba-Ahmed as exemplary.
He wrote, “This morning, I had the privilege of visiting the Baze University Hospital in Abuja and inspecting the facilities. Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed was on hand to show me around.
“This institution is exemplary and reflective of a centre of excellence, and what domestic entrepreneurs and investors can contribute to nation-building.
“With several more facilities like this, medical tourism for Nigerians will be a thing of the past. This is simply awesome. – PO.”
Sowore, however, insisted that it was a wrong move on the part of Obi.
He wrote, “I thought you & Datti would be inspecting the international standard “University Teaching Hospital” they claimed you built while you were governor of Anambra state and not a private hospital built by Datti, which obviously is not accessible/affordable to majority Of Nigerians!.”
