Atiku Hits Back At Tinubu
Atiku was reacting to Tinubu’s comments on Sunday at an interactive session with members of the Tijjaniyyah sect at the Kano government house.
Tinubu had Mocked Atiku, sayiy he won’t be a part-time president who will share his time between Dubai and Nigeria.
The former vice-president had spent most of his time in Dubai after President Muhammadu Buhari was declared as the winner of the 2019 election.
Reacting in a statement on Monday, Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, said Tinubu’s comment shouldn’t be taken seriously.
He also fired back at Tinubu, saying any presidential candidate whose health situation, early school, and early years are all shrouded in secrecy should not be taken seriously.
Atiku’s aide said, “The president of Nigeria, the most populous country in the black continent is not for comedians.
“The process of selecting a president is not a jamboree so the earlier the APC puts its house together and starts by having a council in place. They shouldn’t be taken seriously because of their inability to organise.
“Nobody should take the candidate of that party (APC) seriously. No one should take a candidate and a party whose health situation, early school, and early years are all shrouded in secrecy. No one should take such a candidate seriously.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Bola Tinubu had described Atiku Abubakar as ungrateful for constituting himself as his ‘greatest rival’ instead of endorsing him.
