'Even 1,000 Of Them Can't Save You' - Atiku Slams Tinubu Over Appointment Of New Media Aides

The camp of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has fired back at his All Progressives Candidate (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu over his submission that the former Vice President should withdraw from the 2023 race.

Speaking through the spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, Atiku said it is obvious Tinubu is the one that needs to go home and rest as it is obvious he “cannot comprehend current political dynamics or articulate any meaningful conversation within the demands of the contemporary Nigeria.”

Naija News recalls Tinubu on Saturday during his campaign in Lagos State, described Atiku as an ingrate for contesting in the 2023 presidential election.

Tinubu while addressing supporters of the APC, charged them to retire Atiku with their votes in 2023 because he is an ungrateful person who has been contesting since 1999.

He said, “He ran under PDP. He ran in ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria), and we accepted him. He is an ingrate. He is not supposed to run again. Use your vote to retire him.”

But in his reaction, Ologbondiyan described Tinubu’s call as laughable and disgraceful.

He added that the APC candidate has no integrity left to hold be contesting or to hold the office as the President of Nigeria.

While stressing that Tinubu should use his own advice, the Atiku camp stressed that the APC candidate “has been reported as requiring support to stand, whose speeches are grossly incoherent and who has become the butt of weird jokes among Nigerians for his many blunders.”

The statement alleged that Tinubu had to “forcefully lock all markets in the entire Lagos State to get a motley of crew to attend a rancorous rally is contemplating winning a Presidential election in Nigeria?

“Our Campaign counsels Asiwaju Tinubu to accept the reality that an overwhelming majority of Nigerians have already reached a consensus on electing the Presidential Candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, giving his energy, competence, capacity, will power and understanding of the issues troubling our nation as well as his readiness to provide the solutions.”
