…says APC Presidential Campaign smacks of “Oluwole” creation
NOSA EGHAGHA
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has counseled the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to apologise to Nigerians for reportedly presenting a photograph of former Cross Rivers Governor, Donald Duke, in a documentary as himself (Tinubu).
According to the Campaign, Nigerians were miffed by the reported disingenuous use of Donald Duke’s picture in the said documentary to portray Asiwaju Tinubu, purportedly at his young age, which again confirms the dishonesty of the APC Presidential Campaign and further questions the personal integrity of the APC Presidential Candidate.
It said that it is instructive to note that the gale of questions and controversies surrounding the personality of the APC Presidential Candidate smacks of a merchandise in “Oluwole” market, a Lagos Centre where anything was possible.
Spokesperson of the Atiku/ Okowa Campaign Council, Kola Ologbondiyan, such reputation is less demanding of any individual seeking to lead a nation like Nigeria with over 200 million citizens who are in dire need of a credible, transparent, honest and truthful leader.
“Our campaign believes that Asiwaju Tinubu should apologize to Nigerians for making them to believe that he was the one in the said picture of former Governor Duke and using it to gain followership in the documentary that was part of his campaign materials being used to canvass for votes.
“It is not enough for the Tinubu Campaign to engage in conflicting reactions over the reportedly stolen photograph weeks after the identity theft had gained strong traction in public discourse. In fact, it stands in strong validation of allegations against the APC Presidential Candidate.
“Already, the inability of Asiwaju Tinubu and his campaign group to adequately explain his links to the forfeiture of a whopping sum of $460,000 in a narcotic trafficking case, the reported theft of another Nigerian identity for campaign documentary amid other sundry allegations, place huge question around the integrity of Tinubu as an individual.
“It is imperative to state that any candidates who cannot properly and transparently account for his identity is fake and as such is totally undeserving of the votes of Nigerians ahead of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.
“Atiku/Okowa campaign hereby counsels Asiwaju Tinubu to do the needful by apologizing to Nigerians for deceiving them and then accept the verdict by the people that he is not in any position to govern a country like Nigeria,” Ologbondiyan said in a statement on Tuesday.
