The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization has alleged that the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is frustrated and in disarray following what it described as the abysmal performance of the APC’ Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at Chatham House on Monday.
The Atiku/Okowa Council in a statement on Wednesday by it’s Spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said that Nigerians were not surprised that the central Command and coordinating structure of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign is already collapsing with members becoming disoriented, completely disillusioned and crestfallen following series of unending criminal allegations.
“Nigerians have become disconnected with the Tinubu/Shettima ticket given the exposure of smelly past and constant display of vacuity, incoherence and lack of vision by the APC Presidential Candidate.
“The disenchantment which has continued to grow with the many unpresidential gaffes of Tinubu however came to its height after his embarrassing outing at the Chatham House on Monday where he exhibited a pathetic vacuity and lack of capacity to lead a nation as complex as Nigeria by directing questions put to him on economy, security, youth development and even about his personal life to others to provide answers.
“Patriotic Nigerians in the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign are no longer at home with Asiwaju Tinubu’s inability to give a concise explanation to many scandals around him including the reported connection with narcotics syndicate for which he was made to forfeit a whopping sum of $460,000 through the order of a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States”.
The opposition campaign council alleged that Tinubu/Shettimah messaging has since become disjointed, disconnected and uncoordinated as its helmsmen are currently losing their voices.
It said that the Tinubu/Shettima APC Presidential Campaign has no record of performance to present to Nigerians given the disastrous seven and half years of the APC in office.
“It is more ludicrous that the Tinubu/Shettima’s shameful attempt to appropriate the achievements of other Lagos State governors are being poohpoohed by Nigerians. No individual can claim to have built Lagos!
“Moreover, the Central theme of “Renewed Hope” has failed to gain traction among Nigerians including APC members as it is a direct irony of the reality of Asiwaju’s lack of vision and solution to the problems brought to our nation by his APC”.
He said that disenchanted APC members are quietly leaving in droves and connecting with like minds in the PDP in the mission of the PDP and its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to rescue and rebuild Nigeria from the misrule of the APC.
It claimed that Atiku Abubakar has displayed exceptional organizational skills, competence, capacity, presence of mind, coherence of thoughts and solution-driven vision to effectively manage the affairs of the nation; for which Nigerians across board are rallying with him as the next President of Nigeria.
