The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) presidential campaign organisation has tackled Bola Tinubu, national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), over his criticism of Atiku
Abubakar.
Tinubu on Tuesday questioned the
integrity of the PDP presidential candidate.
The ex-governor of Lagos also
described the former vice-president as being directionless.
Reacting in a statement, Kola
Ologbondiyan, PDP spokesman, admonished Tinubu on behalf of the PDP campaign
organisation.
He said the former Lagos governor
should not forget that as the Asiwaju of Yoruba land, “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 campaign organisation
said Atiku is a focused character that Nigerians trust and believe in to lead
them.
“At Tinubu’s stature, he ought to
be found in the class of respected senior citizens who are decorous, speak
statesmanly and not resorting to the gutters whenever he speaks in public,” the
statement read.
“In politics, family ties and
bonds as well as relationships are greater and stronger than political
interests and it is the expectation of our campaign organization that Tinubu
should understand this.
“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 Presidency represent, it is unfortunate that
Asiwaju chose to be tied to the aprons of anti-democratic interests.
“Our advice to Tinubu is that he
should be watchful ahead of his 2023 wishful presidency interests because those
he is dining with today, as demonstrated in time past, that they can always use
and dump him.
“Tinubu should know that among
the ranks of presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar stands out as that
candidate Nigerians trust and belief in as their next President, come May 29,
2019.
“It is also imperative to know
that the fairy tales of integrity which he weaved around President Buhari in
2015 have waned and become obsolete.”
