The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the recent gaffe by
Bola Tinubu, presidential canddiate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is
“divine proclamation” for the PDP.
TheCable had reported how Tinubu, who is the presidential
candidate of the APC, suffered a gaffe while speaking at the flag-off of his
campaign in Plateau state.
While concluding his speech, Tinubu said: “God bless PD…”
and quickly corrected to “God bless APC.”
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, said the “prayer” by Tinubu “confirms his innermost conviction that the PDP represents the hope and aspiration of the majority of Nigerians for a secure, prosperous future under a united country”.
The PDP scribe said the “blessing” by the APC presidential
candidate “is a pointer that it was not a slip of tongue but a divine
proclamation that the hope for Nigeria, which he harped on, can only come from
the PDP”.
“It is instructive to note that the APC Presidential
Candidate had earlier in his address, admitted that Nigerians were ‘in
distress’ under his failed APC but that hope is on the way,” the statement
reads.
“Since Asiwaju Tinubu’s prophetic blessing on the PDP, our
Party has been receiving flurries of calls, solidarity messages and visits from
key members of the APC who believe that his prayer is a divine act of God to
point the nation to the right direction.
“It is apparent that
Asiwaju Tinubu was speaking under the ostensible weight of the recent
revelation of his indictment for narcotic trafficking, which has become a huge burden from which he
cannot extricate himself, and for which he has lost all moral and legitimate
capacity to occupy the office of the President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
“This perhaps explains why Asiwaju Tinubu was incoherent and
had no concrete message to Nigerians at the flag-off of his campaign.”
According to the opposition party, Tinubu is “intimidated
and dazed” by the capacity of Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate, to
deliver good governance for the people.
The party asked Tinubu to “have the courage to admit the
fact that is already in the public domain, apologise to the nation, and
withdraw from the race”.
“Asiwaju Tinubu could
not proffer any solution or idea to the challenges of insecurity, disunity,
unabated killings, rising unemployment, tumbling Naira, collapsing economy with
unprecedented debts of over N40 trillion arising from somersaulting macro-economic
policies of his failed and corrupt APC government,” the statement added.
