PDP crisis: Focus on your party – Atiku replies APC, Tinubu

By Adeleye Kunle

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar has lambasted the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to focus on its frailties and staff of their affairs.

Tinubu in a statement by Director, Media and Publicity of his Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, Friday mocked Atiku and PDP over the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike’s revealing media chat.

APC said “Once again, another bid for the presidency of our country by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar is slipping away. This is unraveling before our very eyes even before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) blows the whistle for electioneering campaign. His party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in disarray. The signs are just too ominous for the Waziri Adamawa with the report by the Economic Intelligence Unit predicting another trashing for him in the forthcoming polls.

“After violating his party’s code for power rotation between the north and south and grabbing the PDP ticket without a modicum of sensibilities about our national ethos, Alhaji Atiku is now faced with the karma of his inordinate ambition”.

Reacting through his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, Friday, Atiku described Tinubu and APC as busy bodies.

The former Vice President described the APC state on issues pertaining to developments within the PDP as a laughable work of an interloper.

He said instead for APC to focus on its credibility and acceptability issues, they are poking their nose into PDP internal affairs
