The Peoples Democratic Party has knocked the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for what attempting to divert attention from the main issues of the failures of the APC government by making derogatory remarks on the opposition PDP.
In a statement on Sunday by its spokesman, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said APCโs fixation on the PDP only exposes Asiwaju Tinubu as a paper candidate who is confused, nervy and intimidated by the PDPโs Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the achievements of the PDP, which stare him in the face in mortal fear of failure ahead of the 2023 general elections.
โUnlike the APC that is dead, the PDP is not only alive and existing as acknowledged by Asiwaju Tinubu in his statement, but also strong, united and focused on its mission to Rescue, Rebuild and Redirect our nation from the misrule of the APC.
โIt is distressing that Asiwaju Tinubu speaks like someone under the influence with incoherent discourse and absence of mind that further expose a lack of capacity for leadership especially at the Presidential level.
โIt is rather shameful that the APC Presidential Candidate alluded to the nationโs railway system which was revitalized by the PDP administration but painfully surrendered to terrorists and bandits by the APC government.
โFrom his incoherent discourse, the APC Presidential Candidate appears to be battling with issues of ethical challenges and ineligibility to contest election on account of inconsistencies in his educational qualifications, name, ancestry, age, corruption allegations among myriads of issues.
โMoreover, Nigerians have realized the futility of Asiwajuโs non-existent and heavily concocted achievements, influence, leadership prowess and skills.
โNigerians gave Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu the benefit of the doubt but he failed them by engineering a deceitful government leading to the ugly indices of insecurity and bloodletting, economic hardship, unemployment, disunity and low life expectancy imposed on our nation in the last seven years.
โHe should know that Nigerians are aware that he is in the Presidential race not to serve but to gain control of the nationโs treasury so as to expand his exploitative enterprise and economic empire beyond Lagos State.
โThe APC Presidential Candidate has not responded to allegations that he is the promoter of the increase in VAT, electricity tariff, import duties, Stamp Duty, fuel price hike as well as other exploitative tolls by the APC Federal Government, from which he allegedly benefits through many stooges in the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and other revenue generating agencies of government.
โAsiwaju is a huge baggage to the APC. He should know that because of him there is a daily exodus of millions of APC members across the country into the PDP. In the last one month, over 5 million APC members have defected to the PDP.
โIn the Lagos State axis, his supposed stronghold, close to one million APC members have decamped to the PDP since his emergence as APC Presidential Candidate.
โThis is because Nigerians have recognized the PDP and its Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar as the solution our nation needs at this moment while Asiwaju has been identified as โAnother Problem Comingโ (APC),โ the PDPโs statement read.
