'Dead Party' - Tinubu Mocks Atiku, PDP At APC Campaign Flag-off

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has mocked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The former Governor of Lagos State, who met with Atiku at the private wing of the Abuja International Airpot on Monday, described the former Vice President as “wrong theory”.

Tinubu spoke on Tuesday at the flag-off of the APC Presidential campaign at the Rwang Pam township stadium in Jos, the Plateau capital.

He said: “One of them, I don’t want to call their names. Is it Atiku? Atilukated what? Wrong theory. Mark it down. Wrong theory for Atiku.”

The APC candidate also took a swipe at the PDP, describing the opposition party as a “dead party”

He said: “They want to come back. Tell them that a dead fish cannot be sweet in any soup.”

The event was attended by his running mate, Kashim Shettima; President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, Governors elected on the platform of the party, and other party national stakeholders.

Governors Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Ben Ayade (Cross River), Mohammed Badaru (Jigawa), Mai Mala Buni (Yobe), and Nasiru El-Rufai (Kaduna) who all spoke at the flag-off, pledged to work for the success of the party and charged supporters to work for the party.
