The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, as a paper candidate.
PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Hon.
Debo Ologunagba, Sunday also said Tinubu is intimidated by the achievement of
its presidential candidate, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu on Saturday said he wondered why the PDP still
exists.
The APC candidate said, “They spent 16 years and forgot that
there is a railway infrastructure that can do haulage, human carriage, animal husbandry
and food carriage across the length and breadth of the country.
“They (PDP) got there and turned it into an incubator. I
wonder why they still exist as a party. These are people still fighting for
leadership of their party, looking for the direction of the compass, he added.
In a reaction, PDP scribe said such a statement only exposes
Tinubu as a paper candidate who is confused, nervous and intimidated by its
presidential candidate.
PDP added that unlike the APC that is dead, the PDP is not
only alive and existing as acknowledged by Tinubu, but also strong, united and
focused on its mission to Rescue, Rebuild and Redirect the nation from the
misrule of the APC.
The statement read in part, “It is distressing that Asiwaju
Tinubu speaks like someone under the influence with incoherent discourse and
absence of mind that further expose a lack of capacity for leadership
especially at the Presidential level.
“It is rather shameful that the APC Presidential Candidate
alluded to the nation’s railway system which was revitalized by the PDP
administration but painfully surrendered to terrorists and bandits by the APC
government.
“From his incoherent discourse, the APC Presidential
Candidate appears to be battling with issues of ethical challenges and
ineligibility to contest election on account of inconsistencies in his
educational qualifications, name, ancestry, age, corruption allegations among
myriads of issues.
“Moreover, Nigerians have realized the futility of Asiwaju’s
non-existent and heavily concocted achievements, influence, leadership prowess
and skills.
“Nigerians gave Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu the benefit of the
doubt but he failed them by engineering a deceitful government leading to the
ugly indices of insecurity and bloodletting, economic hardship, unemployment,
disunity and low life expectancy imposed on our nation in the last seven
years.”
PDP alleged that Tinubu is in the race not to serve but to
gain control of the nation’s treasury.
Ologunagba described Tinubu as a huge baggage to the APC.
Continuing, the statement read, “He (Tinubu) should know
that because of him there is a daily exodus of millions of APC members across
the country into the PDP. In the last one month, over 5 million APC members
have defected to the PDP. In the Lagos State axis, his supposed stronghold,
close to one million APC members have decamped to the PDP since his emergence
as APC Presidential Candidate.
“This is because Nigerians have recognized the PDP and its
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar as the solution our nation needs at this
moment while Asiwaju has been identified as “Another Problem Coming” (APC)”.
