Phrank Shaibu, an aide of Atiku Abubakar, presidential
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says Bola Tinubu is using
petrol scarcity and the naira redesign as excuses for his imminent defeat.
While speaking at a rally in Ogun state, Tinubu, standard
bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the scarcity of petrol and
change of the naira’s design would not affect his chances of securing victory.
“This election is a revolution. They said fuel will be
expensive — will be N200, N500. Put your mind at rest, we will bring it down,”
the former Lagos governor had said.
“They don’t want the election to hold. They want to disrupt
it. Will you allow that? Will you vote?”
In a statement on Wednesday, Shaibu said Tinubu is running
from “pillar to post” despite claiming that he installed President Muhammadu
Buhari in office.
“Frustrated by President Muhammadu Buhari’s unwillingness to
attend some of his insipid rallies, Tinubu launched an attack against the
president who doubles as the minister of petroleum,” he said.
“It is funny that Tinubu is just commenting over the fuel
scarcity which started in different parts of the country as far back as
February 2022. In Lagos, where Tinubu claims to be the landlord, the state has
been witnessing fuel queues since last November.
“It is therefore
dubious of Tinubu to try to extricate himself from the failures of his party
because elections are 30 days away.
“Having seen his imminent defeat at the polls, he is already
using the fuel scarcity and naira redesign as excuses. Tinubu should throw in
the towel or get ready to be disgraced on February 25, 2023.
“A word is enough for the wise.”
