The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to the emergence of Bola Tinubu as the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Recall that Tinubu emerged the winner of the APC presidential primary in a convention held at the Eagle Square on Tuesday, June 7.
Reacting to Tinubu’s victory, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that Tinubu has no chance of defeating its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 general election.
In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP said Tinubu had clinched the ticket “at a very great price.”
According to the PDP, the APC is “a fraudulent contraption that brought in the failed, corrupt and rudderless administration of President Muhammadu Buhari”.
“Our Party also sympathizes with Asiwaju for embarking on a journey to nowhere as he is no match for PDP’s more popular, more competent and more prepared Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar the unifier and the people’s choice, who defeated President Buhari fair and square in the 2019 Presidential election,” the PDP said.
“Asiwaju will soon realize that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms and that the Nigerian people are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackies, from whom he bought the APC Presidential ticket.”
Further, the PDP accused Tinubu of foisting the current administration on Nigerians which has resulted in various challenges bedevilling the country.
“Asiwaju will soon realize that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms and that the Nigerian people are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackies, from whom he bought the APC Presidential ticket.
“Asiwaju will also soon realize that Nigerians hold him responsible for his self-confessed role in installing the failed Buhari-led administration that subjugated the people, brought excruciating economic hardship, acute poverty, bloodletting, terrorism, mass killings, promoted disunity, tribalism and nepotism, lawlessness, massive treasury looting and unpardonable life-discounting experiences to our country.”
