The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the newly elected presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is no match for his opposite number in the main opposition party, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Reacting to the former Lagos State governor’s emergence, on Wednesday, Hon Debo Ologunagba, PDP National Publicity Secretary, observed in a statement that Tinubu clinched the APC ticket at very great price.
Describing the ruling party as “moribund, decrepit and crippled,” the statement, noted that the APC has since served out its purpose as a “fraudulent contraption that brought in the failed, corrupt and rudderless administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.”
The PDP said it sympathised with Tinubu for “embarking on a journey to nowhere as he is no match for PDP’s more popular, more competent and more prepared Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar the unifier and the people’s choice, who defeated President Buhari fair and square in the 2019 Presidential election.”
The statement added: “Asiwaju will soon realise that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms and that the Nigerian people are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackies, from whom he bought the APC Presidential ticket.
“Asiwaju will also soon realise that Nigerians hold him responsible for his self-confessed role in installing the failed Buhari-led administration that subjugated the people, brought excruciating economic hardship, acute poverty, bloodletting, terrorism, mass killings, promoted disunity, tribalism and nepotism, lawlessness, massive treasury looting and unpardonable life-discounting experiences to our country.
