It Is A Political Sin To Compare Tinubu To Abiola – PDP Youth Leader

A national youth leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mohammed Suleiman, has said those comparing the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola’s political acumen with that of the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are commiting a political sin.

Suleiman while arguing that his principal Atiku Abubakar is more grounded in grassroot politics than Tinubu stated that the former Lagos state Governor was simply mingling with politicians in power.

Suleiman told reporters at the weekend in Kaduna, shortly after the inauguration of Atiku United Front, North West party leaders, that comparing Tinubu’s politics to late MKO Abiola’s is a political sin because Abiola, like Atiku, was known in every nook and cranny of the country.

He opined that Tinubu would be unable to win the election because he has no base in the north.

He said, “PDP is not afraid of incumbency factor because we were in power in 2015 and we lost the election. This time around we are coming back to take back power, and we are not afraid of incumbency. The APC government has promised fair, free and credible elections.

“A research group said Tinubu will win the 2023 election, but to me, it is a mere prediction from APC people. There is no way Tinubu will win this election. He has no base in the North. We need somebody who has political influence across the country. We need somebody who will unite this country.

“Those who are comparing Tinubu with late MKO Abiola are committing political sin. If you go to Zaria there is a house called Abiola house, but Tinubu is just mingling and interacting with people who are in political positions. He is not at the grassroots level of politics.”
