Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 election, on Tuesday, criticised the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) for allegedly using religion to divide Nigerians.
In a statement signed on his behalf by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, sent to POLITICS NIGERIA, Atiku blamed the ruling APC for the “sacrilegious picture” of himself superimposed onto the image of Jesus Christ which has gone viral on social media.
Atiku’s statement partly reads: “APC are exhausted because they have squandered their goodwill and even their campaign of lies and propaganda are not working for them, and Nigerians have seen the light enough not to be fooled anymore by such desperate last ditch tactic of a soldier about to kiss the dust.
“I’m not your enemy; your enemy is your own disastrous record in terms of security, education, job creation, unemployment, and unity.
“Your own performance record is your own greatest undoing.
“The 2023 election is a confidence vote on APC. Nigerians are wiser; using religion to divide the people can’t work.”
WHO HAS PLAYED THE RELIGION SENTIMENT BUT THE OPPOSITION?
Our memories remain fresh about the religion cards by Atiku and company over the Muslim-muslim saga against the APC and its candidates.
IT IS NOW THE FINGER POINTING GAME AFTER THE IRRELEVANT NOISEY SCREAMS ABOUT THE NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST APC RELIGION STAND HAS FAILED.
This current scheme in religion would hit the ground, also.
THESE PEOPEL ARE CLUELESS WITH NOTHING TO RUN WITH. NO IDEAS NO PROGRAM AND NO PHILOSOPHY OF ANY NOTE. NOW SCRAMBLING AFTER THE FACT OF ANTICIPATED FAILURE.
Possibility is, the PDP and its presidential candidate could and might be behind the horrendous design of sacrilege. The act they accuse the APC of.
