Tinubu Warns Nigerians To Be Wary Of Atiku’s Sweet Promises

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has warned Nigerians to be wary of promises made by his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, counterpart, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who he claims is only desperate to seize power by any means possible.

“We need to warn Nigerians to be wary of the sugar-coated promises of former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as they embark on their inordinate and desperate campaign to gain power at all cost,” he stated.

The APC candidate said in a statement issued Sunday in Abuja by the Director, Media and Publicity of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, that the PDP should be forever ashamed of its appalling record in governance between 1999 and 2015.

He lamented that the party is now busy rewriting history, embellishing the locust years as if it was a golden era in Nigeria’s history.“Of course, this is fake history at its worst. We are not fooled.“Nigerians should also not be fooled about the boldfaced lies, being articulated by the candidate and his party.

“What is more shocking is Atiku’s audacity in standing up to ask for our votes despite what his boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo wrote about him in his book, ‘My Watch’.

“Obasanjo wrote that it would have been an unpardonable mistake and sin against God to foist him on Nigeria.Obasanjo, according to Tinubu, regrets making Atiku his vice president in 1999.Tinubu, on the other hand, said he was not surprised by Atiku’s latest desperation.

“Aware that this is his last shot at the elusive presidency, Atiku, while on the hustings, has been spewing series of lies, making empty promises and presenting a false narrative about our present reality and the legacy of the 16-year ignoble era of the PDP administration, of which he was a principal actor.

“He claimed at his rally in Abuja on Saturday that the country is not secure for trading and farming, a false narrative that he has been pushing around for some time, since he relocated to Nigeria from his base in Dubai, principally to contest the election.

“We believe in his private moment that Atiku will concede that his view about insecurity is exaggerated.

“Our country is certainly better secured than in 2015 when the PDP allowed insurgents to seize 17 local councils in Borno and some four councils in Atiku’s home state of Adamawa State, when Abuja was under constant bomb attacks and people slept with eyes wide open.

“What further proof of progress made by the APC does Atiku need than the fact that he was able, recently, to carry his party men and women to Maiduguri to hold a rally, without any attacks by insurgents and bandits.

“Atiku can also drive smoothly from Yola, his state capital to Jada, his home town on a reconstructed road by the Buhari-led APC administration.

“The road was impassable for the eight years Atiku was Vice President and got progressively bad and totally cut off from civilisation until the Buhari government reconstructed it.
