2023: Tinubu not losing sleep over ACF’s Atiku endorsement – APC


The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, on Wednesday said its flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, would not lose sleep over the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, endorsement of Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.


APC PCC said it would not take ACF’s endorsement of Atiku seriously because a lot of Northern groups support Tinubu.


A few days ago, a chieftain of the ACF, Muhammad Yakubu, said Atiku was the body’s preferred candidate ahead of Saturday’s election.


Speaking with journalists, Yakubu said the comments by Zango Daura, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, were enough evidence that the region had settled for Atiku.


Yakubu said the North is supporting Atiku because he has the capacity, competence and integrity to rule Nigeria.


Reacting, the APC PCC Director of Strategic Communications, Idris Mohammed, said: “As far as we are concerned, the ACF is just a group. There are lots of northern groups out there who have also supported Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He is not only reaching out to groups, he is also campaigning to the masses.


“Everywhere you go, you will see the kind of crowd that Tinubu has amassed and the commentaries people make about him. So, we really don’t take the ACF endorsement seriously.


“What we take seriously is the way Nigerians, especially the Northerners you talked about are going to vote. We are very optimistic that Asiwaju is going to emerge victorious in Saturday’s poll.”
