Atiku/Okowa Reveals Questions Buhari Must Answer If He Campaigns For Bola Tinubu

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has berated the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for dragging President Muhammadu Buhari into his campaign.

The PDP campaign, in a statement signed by the Spokesperson of the Atiku-Okowa Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan in Abuja, on Saturday, accused Tinubu of trying to use Buhari to boost his battered image.

According to the PDP presidential campaign, the president must be willing to answer some questions dodging the APC presidential candidate if he is willing to join the campaign.

Ologbondiyan stated that Nigerians are wondering why Tinubu needs a Buhari he had claimed to help attain power in 2015.

He said, “It is indeed ludicrous that Asiwaju Tinubu who is badgered with narcotic and many corruption allegation stains is now seeking President Buhari’s presence in his campaign after he had boastfully claimed that he (President Buhari) had no political relevance and could not become President until he (Tinubu) came to his rescue.

“Nigerians watched as Tinubu’s publicity derided, scorned and disparaged President Buhari and even demonstrated how, according to him, President Buhari cried after losing election thrice until he (Tinubu) picked him up, wiped his tears and made him President.

“Nigerians are therefore wondering what roles Tinubu, who disparaged Buhari as not having political weight, now wants President Buhari to play in the campaign for which he is forcefully dragging him to the arena, if not to smear Mr. President with his putrid stains.

“Nigerians are wondering what President Buhari, with his professed aversion to corruption and drug related issues, will be saying while presenting Asiwaju Tinubu to the electorate in rallies, if he ever does.

“Will President Buhari be explaining to Nigerians the link the APC Presidential Candidate had with narcotics for which a Court of competent jurisdiction in the United States of America ordered the forfeiture of a gargantuan sum of $460,000 found in Tinubu’s account as proceeds of illicit transactions?

“Will Buhari be apologising to Nigerians for approving, as a military Head of State, the execution of a set of Nigerians for a drug-related offence only to now be presenting someone that forfeited money in a narcotic-related matter as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?“

The Atiku-Okowa Campaign asked Buhari to provide answers to issues of perjury, certificate forgery, how the picture of former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, was stolen and used to fraudulently depict Tinubu as a bright young man, among many other issues.

He further said, “Does President Buhari have answers to the malodourous issues of perjury, certificate forgery and inconsistencies in age, educational qualification and ancestry that are plaguing Asiwaju Tinubu or has President Buhari any explanation on who Asiwaju’s classmate were at the Government College, Ibadan or at the non-existent Aroloya primary school?

“Will President Buhari provide explanation for how the picture of former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, was stolen and used to fraudulently depict Tinubu as a bright young man in APC Presidential Campaign documentary?

“It has become clear that Asiwaju Tinubu, who does not believe in President Buhari’s political currency and relevance is dragging President Buhari into his deflated campaign as a decoy to transfer his corruption and criminal allegation burdens on Mr. President.”

He stated that it is however imperative that the APC Presidential candidate should know that it is too late in the day to stage such a political stunt given that his image has gone beyond redemption.

Ologbondiyan added: “He must learn to face his woes by personally providing answers for the allegations after which he should apologize to Nigerians and quit the Presidential race, since the people have already reached a consensus on his rejection at the polls.

“Nigerians are not willing to compromise their determination to rescue our nation by voting in the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, whose credentials of integrity, hard work, capacity, relevant experience, presence of mind and readiness to deliver have distinguished him to lead our nation at this critical time.”
