The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign
Organization (PPCO) has described as derogatory remarks made by the Co- Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu against its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Director, Media & Publicity PDP Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbodiyan in a statement reacting to Tinubu’s comments, said that the APC national leader as the Asuwaju of Yoruba land should know that he has the responsibility of tutoring the younger generation on the culture of the Yorubas, which holds that “when a child is given the errand of a slave, he delivers it like a freeborn”.
The PDP declared that based on Tinubu’s stature, he ought as a respected senior citizens to speak decorously and statesmanly, instead of resorting to gutter language whenever he speaks in public.
According to the party, in politics, family ties and bonds as well as relationships are greater and stronger than political interests.
“Our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is a focused Nigerian who has contributed immensely to the economic and political development of our nation.
“He has also displayed huge stability in character through the bridges of human and economic relationships he has built across our nation.
“At this critical time, when majority of Nigerians expect true democrats, which Tinubu has always claimed allegiance, to come together and rescue our nation from the absurdity of a governance that the APC and the Buhari Presidency represent, it is unfortunate that Asiwaju chose being tied to the aprons of anti-democratic interests.
“It is therefore strange, if not ridiculous, that the Asiwaju of
Yoruba land can be dancing around an anti-people government at this time,” it added.
The PDP advised to Tinubu to be watchful ahead of his 2023
wishful presidency interests because those he is dining with today, have demonstrated in time past, that they can always use and dump him.
