As the 2023 election gathers steam, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu on Thursday said Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential flag-bearer of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not qualified to be President of Nigeria “having indicted himself on his record as a civil servant”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Tinubu said this while speaking at the APC Presidential Campaign rally held at the University of Benin Sports Complex, Ugbowo Campus, Benin, Edo State.
“Atiku and his boss, Olusegun Obasanjo accused themselves of using Nigeria’s money to buy cars for their comfort.
“Atiku was a custom officer who said he made money selling cars, that is smuggling. He didn’t even know that a civil servant cannot do any other business apart from agriculture.
“That is enough to disqualify him and he is not fit to be President,” Tinubu said.
Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, APC National Woman Leader Beta Edu, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio; Minister of State for Budget and National Planning, Clem Agba; former Chief of Defence Staff, General Olanisakin, Senator Andy Uba, among others, attended the rally.
