Tinubu accuses Atiku of publicly opposing Obasanjo as Vice President

Atiku and Tinubu
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar of fighting his principal, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, while serving as Nigeria’s vice president.

PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar served as Vice President in Obasanjo’s administration from 1999 to 2007.

However, Tinubu, speaking at the launch of the Delta APC governorship campaign in Warri on Saturday, claimed that Atiku fought Obasanjo during their tenure.

“Our competitors have no shame,” he said. How can they think of governance when they are fighting in public?

“When Atiku was there, he was publicly fighting his boss.” They were telling us about how they spent their money on cars for their girlfriends. Do they feel shame? Will you vote for them again? Tinubu asked the cheering crowd.

“Tinubu assured Nigerians that the APC will deliver on its promises if it wins next year’s elections, as he redoubled his accusation that the PDP failed the country,” he said.

“I will commit to your progress and keep all of my promises to you.” You are the country’s future, as well as its heart and soul.

“Your environment is just as vital as gold mining.” Your health, well-being, and dreams for a stable and prosperous Nigeria will be realized.”

The campaign flag-off was attended by APC chieftains such as the party’s vice presidential candidate, Kashim Shettima; Senate President Ahmed Lawan; Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma; Plateau State Governor Simon Lalong; the party’s Deputy National Chairman (South), Emma Eneukwu; and a former Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, among others.
