The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has responded to the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the aftermath of comments made by Atiku Abubakar over a Northern Presidency.
A spokesman for the PDP Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala, Tuesday, during an interview on Arise TV slammed the APC for engaging in mindless politicking while neglecting the issues plaguing the country ahead of the 2023 elections.
“Honestly, APC is a joke. Imagine Asiwaju saying he will recruit 50 million Nigerian youths into the army. He further said he will be feeding them with cassava and agbado. His natural flow of thought is not in line with the situation at hand.
What the APC intends to do is intimidating others in states such as Kano, Lagos and all. We are calling on the international community to ensure thorough investigations — this is deeply troubling.
See the subliminal jab by Nasir El-Rufai to Peter Obi; it is our right to participate in the political process because they cannot hold Nigeria in bondage because they will do anything to hold to power,” he said.
He stated further that the APC has no chance of winning the elections after Tinubu appealed to Atiku for an endorsement of his candidacy.
Tinubu said Tuesday in Kaduna: “I supported Atiku Abubakar in 2007 then. Don’t blame me if I ask for a payback period. It’s payback. Let him endorse me now instead of him conducting rally around Kaduna while I’m talking to you people here.”
Bwala said this will not happen and it only shows that the APC are desperate towards clinging to power, adding that: “He knows the only realistic chance of him winning is asking Atiku to step down, but this will not happen.
“It is only the APC who has cried foul over the comments by Atiku while Asiwaju engaged in ethnic jingoism by saying “Emilokan” “Yoruba lokan.”
