Presidency: You can’t buy South-West with dollars – Atiku to Tinubu over Afenifere meeting

By Adeleye Kunle

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has said his counterpart from the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, can’t buy the Southwest with dollars.

Atiku said Tinubu resorted to ethnic politics by visiting one of the leaders of the Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti.

Fasoranti had prayed and given Tinubu his blessing during the meeting.

But, the acting leader of Afenifere, Ayo Adebanjo had rubbished the meeting, stressing that Afenifere would not back Tinubu.

Adebanjo accused Tinubu of attempting to bribe some Afenifere leaders and cause a division within the group.

Also, Atiku while speaking through his campaign spokesman, Kola Ologbndiyan, said Tinubu opted for ethnic politics in an attempt to divert the attention of the public from his anti-people issues
