As the 2023 election gathers steam, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has said Bola Tinubu, his opponent on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been ‘disingenuously criticising’ President Muhammadu Buhari because he wants to absolve himself from the “failures” of the ruling party.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Atiku spoke on Wednesday through Phrank Shaibu, his Special Assistant on Public Communication.
“Tinubu has disingenuously been criticising President Buhari, trying to extricate himself from the failures of the APC which he had vigorously defended in the last eight years.
“Nigerians must not be deceived by this charlatan who is now posing to be on the side of the masses.
“Tinubu is the APC, mind, soul and body. He was the national leader of the party even before Buhari became the Presidential candidate. Is it possible for a snail to deny its own shell?
“Tinubu needs to give up this rascally act and take ownership of the failure of his party in the last eight years. His latest outburst is nothing but diversionary tactics,” Atiku said in the statement.
