The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the February 25 general elections, Atiku Abubakar has rubbished the reconciliation move by the President-Elect, Bola Tinubu.
Atiku urged Tinubu to detain and charge Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, the former head of the Lagos State NURTW, for allegedly threatening Igbos during the governorship race.
He claimed that Tinubu’s plea for amity was tainted with deceit and hypocrisy.
After the general elections in 2023, Tinubu had pleaded with the opposition to provide time for reconciliation.
According to Tinubu, individuals who were impacted by the violence should put aside their disagreements for the good of the country and its unity.
He spoke through his Media Aide, Phrank Shaibu.
He recalled how MC Oluomo and some Tinubu’s media aides made anti-Igbo rants during the just-concluded elections.
A statement by Shaibu reads partly: “Tinubu’s latest statement is laced with hypocrisy and lies. For a whole month, traditional leaders, transport hooligans and politicians in his camp threatened non-indigenes but Tinubu kept mute.
“His lackey, MC Oluomo, who is a member of his Presidential campaign council, was seen on video threatening Igbo people but Tinubu said nothing.
“There will be no reconciliation until MC Oluomo and all his minions who took part in issuing threats and brutalising people are diligently prosecuted.”
