Datti Baba-Ahmed, vice-presidential candidate of the Labour
Party (LP), says the recent comment by Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) against Peter Obi is “disrespectful”.
Baba-Ahmed said this on Thursday at a media briefing in
Abuja.
Speaking recently at a rally in Delta state, Tinubu, APC
presidential candidate, had said it is a “disgrace” for him to mention the name
of Obi, LP presidential candidate.
Speaking on the development, the LP vice-presidential candidate said the APC has resorted to derogatory remarks because they have nothing substantial to campaign with.
“In the squabble for
second and third positions, some erstwhile major political parties appear to
have crossed the boundaries of decency to transgress our peaceful activities
and our focus on political schedules,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“It is unfortunate that despite the noble objectives of this
initiative, disinformation and misinformation about the Labour Party and its
candidates have become fashionable in this election season.
“As if those were not enough, just a few days ago, the
presidential candidate of the APC, speaking in Delta state and referring to our
presidential candidate, said it was a disgrace to mention his name.
“While our candidate
is quite comfortable with not being mentioned, it is most unpresidential,
indecorous, and disrespectful from the candidate who claims his turn at
Nigerian presidency.
“APCs strategy against Peter Obi now appears very clearly
centred on promoting falsehood, in addition to empty and derogatory personal
attacks, and of course, this is because they can find no contentious points of
negativity to push.”
Baba-Ahmed added that the 2023 elections will be different
as Nigerians are now aware of the dangers of ethinic and religious politics.
