Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), argued that Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike was right when he claimed that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s candidate, lacked integrity.
Because he was a part of the PDP administration that plagiarized Nigeria’s wealth, Tinubu claimed that Atiku has nothing to contribute.
Speaking at an APC campaign event in Kano, Tinubu charged Atiku with misleading Nigerians.
The APC candidate pleaded with the people of the state not to fall for deception by allowing the PDP to take back control in any way.
According to Tinubu: “Neither Atiku nor his party can keep their promise. Tell me how they will keep their promise to the nation. No wonder their party is in tatters! Governor Wike was right when he talked about a lack of integrity, saying ‘look at the man and his history.’
“We can make Nigeria better, safer, and more prosperous. We can educate our youth, feed our people and put an end to fear. We can do these things. We can move you forward.
“But the others cannot. They want to hold you back so that only they can move forward. They offer nothing but fake promises and easy answers that hold no water. All they can show you is how to hate your fellow Nigerian and reject your neighbour.”
Wike has been against Atiku after he lost the PDP ticket to Atiku during the party’s presidential primaries in 2022.
The governor accused Atiku of lacking integrity following his refusal to prevail on the PDP’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu to resign.
He and his group, G-5 accused Atiku of refusing to honour the rotational policy of the PDP.
Wike claimed that a particular region should not be allowed to produce PDP’s National Chairman and the presidential candidate.
