The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation mocked the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for seeking to drag President Muhammadu Buhari into his campaign with the aim to use him to launder his image.
The campaign said it is indeed ludicrous that Tinubu, who has so much alleged baggage is now seeking President Buhari’s presence in his campaign after he had boastfully claimed that he (President Buhari) had no political relevance and could not become President until he (Tinubu) came to his rescue.
The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation, in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbodiyan, said that Nigerians watched as Tinubu’s publicity derided, scorned, and disparaged President Buhari and even demonstrated how, according to him, the President cried after losing election thrice until he (Tinubu) picked him up, wiped his tears and made him President.
The Campaign Organisation said that it has become clear that Tinubu, who does not believe in President Buhari’s political currency and relevance, is dragging President Buhari into his deflated campaign as a decoy to transfer his corruption and criminal allegation burdens on Mr. President. It added that Tinubu must learn to face his woes by personally providing answers for the allegations after which he should apologise to Nigerians and quit the Presidential race since the people have already reached a consensus on his rejection at the polls.
The campaign further said: “Nigerians are not willing to compromise their determination to rescue our nation by voting in the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, whose credentials of integrity, hard work, capacity, relevant experience, presence of mind and readiness to deliver have distinguished him to lead our nation at this critical time”.
