The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidate in the 2023 presidential election, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to withdraw from the election.
The PDP based its position on the alleged employment of individuals to pose as bishops by Tinubu.
Describing the behaviour of the APC as unpardonable, PDP’s national publicity secretary; Hon. Debo Ologunagba said that the APC is disintegrating before the 2023 elections.
Ologunagba who spoke at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, July 22, said; “Such action is unacceptable and unbecoming of any individual aspiring to a leadership position at any level; let alone, the office of the President. This is an embarrassment to leadership.”
Further, Ologunagba said more sickening is the outcry by the hirelings that they were allegedly defrauded by agents of Tinubu.
He added that “With this ugly episode; Nigerians now know the individual who has been the planner and executor of the lies; false promises, and corruption of the APC that have brought disunity, excruciating hardship, mass killings, and political instability in the country in the last seven years.”
According to Ologunagba “Nigeria’s debt stock has astronomically risen from N12 trillion under the PDP to N41.6 trillion with our nation going broke as Debt Servicing cost has now surpassed Government revenue with over N300 billion.”
Ologunagba said with PDP’s victory in Osun; it is crystal clear to Nigerians that Tinubu’s ancestral state of Osun; as well as the South West geo-political zone ought to be his natural stronghold outrightly rejected him.
He continued, “PDP’s sweeping victory and the spontaneous jubilation across our country are direct statements by Nigerians on their resolve to stand on the platform of the PDP to free themselves from the agonizing stranglehold of the lying, cruel, and life-discounting APC and its presidential candidate.
“Furthermore, the humiliating rejection of Tinubu in Abuja; where he had reportedly rushed to in a desperate bid to frustrate the smooth conclusion of the Osun State Governorship election; is a clear testimonial that the APC Presidential Candidate has been roundly defeated.
“The APC Presidential candidate can recall that our Party, had in a statement on June 8, 2022; cautioned him that he will soon realize that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms; that Nigerians are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackeys, from whom he bought the APC Presidential ticket.
“Now that the APC Presidential candidate, Tinubu, has lost the basic required leadership integrity; having been exposed and roundly rejected in his ancestral home State of Osun; the South West and across the country, our Party counsels him to immediately withdraw from the 2023 Presidential race to avoid further disgrace.
“The APC Presidential candidate and his party should know that it is in his interest to withdraw from the race as it will be futile to go into an election in which the Will and aspiration of the people are manifestly against him and the APC.”
