The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Tuesday berated the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, for allegedly resorting to hauling insults against the
opposition party to curry political relevance.
It also alleged that Tinubu was
ostensibly attacking the PDP for his selfish pecuniary interests.
PDP spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan
said this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
He said by travelling to faraway
Mecca, at this Ramadan period, just to meet President Muhammadu Buhari and engage
in gossips, invectives and diatribes against the PDP, Asiwaju Tinubu has
further demonstrated nothing to offer towards the development of our nation.
“It is atrocious that at the time
other leaders are in the Holy Land offering prayers and supplications for our
nation, Asiwaju Tinubu is in Mecca for photo-ops, playing dirty politics and
hauling insults at other Nigerians just to curry relevance before President
Buhari.
“The party noted that nothing but
sheer hypocrisy would push Asiwaju Tinubu to engage in unholy praises of a
failed administration in desperation to avert the purported threats by certain
agents of the Buhari Presidency to expose him.
“This is the same Asiwaju Tinubu,
who, in January 2018, at the 15th Annual Daily Trust Dialogue, berated the
Buhari administration for its nepotism, incompetence, corrupt oil subsidy
regime; blaming it for the high-level poverty in our country and counseled
Nigerians to be guided by their conscience in electing leaders in the 2019
general elections.
“Asiwaju, in criticizing the
Buhari administration held rightly that “too much political and economic power
resides in the hands of too few. This result in a society described by too much
of unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, too little food, yet too much
poverty,” he said.
“He added that under President
Buhari, “rather than becoming a joyous nation, Nigeria has become a cruel
playground where the fears and concerns of the average person get exploited but
their interests never get promoted.”
The PDP, therefore, lambasted
Tinubu for allegedly making allusion to its determination with Nigerians to
retrieve Atiku Abubakar’s stolen Presidential mandate at the court, adding that
no amount of blackmail can detract from this resolve.
Further, PDP said, “The party
cautioned Asiwaju Tinubu to call himself to order, particularly as Nigerians,
including members of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), have seen
through his power-grabbing antics and are now determined to give him the back
seat treatment”.
