Says APC has outlived its purpose
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the newly elected presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is no match for his opposite number in the main opposition party, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Reacting to the former Lagos State governors emergence, yesterday, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, PDP National Publicity Secretary, observed in a statement that Tinubu clinched the APC ticket at a very great price.
Describing the ruling party as moribund, decrepit and crippled, the statement, noted that the APC has since served out its purpose as a fraudulent contraption that brought in the failed, corrupt and rudderless administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The PDP said it sympathised with Tinubu for embarking on a journey to nowhere, as he is no match for PDPs more popular, more competent and more prepared presidential candidate, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar the unifier and the peoples choice, who defeated President Buhari fair and square in the 2019 presidential election.
The statement added: Asiwaju will soon realise that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms and that the Nigerian people are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackeys, from whom he bought the APC presidential ticket.
It is indeed reprehensible that Asiwaju, after being handed an APC flag that refused to unfold in recognition of the gloomy times of the APC, did not demonstrate any form of remorse for the injuries he engineered and caused our nation in the last seven years.
His acceptance speech further exposed his manifest lack of capacity, presence of mind, resourcefulness and selflessness to manage the affairs of a nation as complex as Nigeria.
The opposition party further said, Nigerian politics is far more complex and beyond the Lagos politics, where Asiwaju operates with brawl and deployment of violence rather than the brain.
What Nigerians need now is a unifier in the face of the pain and discomfort inflicted on them by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his live band of APC looters and mean human beings. He needs to know that Nigeria is not Lagos!
The PDP, therefore, charged Nigerians to continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with Atiku, their choice President in this mission to rescue, redirect and rebuild our nation from the misrule of Tinubu and his APC.
