On Sunday in a statement by the Atiku Campaign Organisation spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, Atiku said that Tinubu was being haunted by his scheme to relocate the FCT to Lagos State, his alleged criminal indictments, perjury, forgery and inconsistencies in age, name, ancestry and education qualifications.
Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) counterpart, Bola Tinubu, deliberately embarked on a foreign trip to the UK to avoid answering questions about his plot to move Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) from Abuja to Lagos, among other issues.
On Sunday in a statement by the Atiku Campaign Organisation spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, Atiku said that Tinubu was being haunted by his scheme to relocate the FCT to Lagos State, his alleged criminal indictments, perjury, forgery and inconsistencies in age, name, ancestry and education qualifications.
Ologbondiyan said, “The APC presidential candidate should face Nigerians with an explanation for the exposed scheme instead of allowing his handlers to be playing to the gallery with disjointed denials and blaming other political parties for allegedly spreading the accusation that he wants to relocate the federal capital from Abuja to Lagos.
“The plan to relocate the federal capital was conceptualised and propagated by the Tinubu campaign and only became hysterical as a result of the public ire against such an atrocious plot to sequester the nation’s capital for his personal selfish interest.
“It is clear that the foreign trip embarked on by Asiwaju Tinubu was a deliberate plot to dodge the Arise TV debate scheduled to hold tomorrow following fear that Nigerians will take him to task on the FCT relocation plot, alleged criminal indictments, perjury, forgery and inconsistencies in age, name, ancestry and education qualification.
“Moreover, the handlers of the APC presidential candidate are not comfortable putting him before the cameras because of his constant embarrassing gaffes that question his fitness for the office of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
“If Asiwaju Tinubu cannot face Nigerians as a candidate because of his many pieces of baggage, he surely does not deserve their votes on February 25, 2023.
“Our campaign urges Nigerians not to relent for a moment in their continued support for Atiku until they elect him into office.”
Meanwhile, Tinubu’s presidential campaign team had described the claim that he planned to relocate the country’s capital from Abuja as an “egregious lie.”
