Why Buhari Is Not Travelling With APC To Campaign For Tinubu

The spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, Charles Aniagwu, has submitted the reason President Muhammadu Buhari has not been appearing in Presidential campaigns of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The PDP spokesman said APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is not the kind of leader at this time that Buhari will follow in the campaigns.

He argued that the APC would have gotten more credibility with Professor Yemi Osinbajo as its 2023 presidential candidate.

Speaking during an appearance on “AIT Kakaaki” on Thursday, the PDP said only some selfish persons in the APC are trying to force Tinubu on Nigerians.

According to him, Tinubu has clearly shown by his many public gaffes that he lacks the mental alertness to lead Nigeria successfully.

He said; “The inability of the APC Presidential candidate to carry on his campaigns seamlessly is a pointer to the fact that he is being managed and that is not the kind of leader Nigerians deserve at this time.

“Tinubu is a great leader and we respect him for all his accomplishments and contributions to nation-building in the past.

“A situation where a Presidential candidate cannot speak coherently for only two minutes calls for serious concern.

The PDP campaign spokesperson added that the spokesperson of the Tinibu campaign spokesperson, Festus Keyamo is already running out of excuses on how to defend his principal.

He said; “And that’s why we can hardly hear from our brother Festus Keyamo again because the kind of things he defends is already becoming an embarrassment to the legal profession.”

 “The other day at Chatham House, he was asked his name and somebody had to slip a piece of paper to him, he couldn’t remember immediately to the extent that he had to read the paper to remember his date of birth, is that the kind of president the APC wants for this country?

“I am happy that President Muhammadu Buhari is not following them about in this campaign because he saw what the APC Governors didn’t see what he saw prior to the party primaries when they stopped Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, a man that has demonstrated great intellectualism from clinching the party’s ticket.

“And we thank God that they did not progress in that direction because maybe we would have had something that looks like a contest in this election,” he added.

Aniagwu further challenged Tinubu and his team to stop using Lagos State as a symbol of their achievement and what they can do for Nigeria.

In his words, “Each time you ask them to give an account of their party’s stewardship they refer you to Lagos. The Lagos that was built by the Federal Government as a former Federal capital? Or is it Lagos that you will spend five hours on a journey that shouldn’t take not more than thirty minutes?

“They talk about the Lagos economy and I ask who collects the tax and does the tax reflect in the lives of the citizens. A Lagos that Nasir El-Rufai, an APC governor had amply described as a living ‘hell’?
