The Presidential Candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has jibed at his old political ally and rival, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of APC over his comment on Atiku’s Dubai shuttles, saying Tinubu’s health and early life are all shrouded in secrecy.
Tinubu had said, if elected, he would not be a “part-time president who stays between Dubai and Nigeria”, Persecondnews recalls.
While speaking on Sunday at an interactive session with members of the Tijjaniyyah sect in Kano State, Tinubu said he would give 100 percent of his time to Nigerians and would not be a part-time president who stays between Dubai and Nigeria.
But reacting, Atiku hit at Tinubu, by making a mockery of his health condition which had taken him to London several times.
“Nigerians should not take any presidential candidate whose health is shrouded in secrecy seriously,” Atiku said through his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe.
“Tinubu’s comment should not be taken seriously. 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,” Persecondnews quotes Atiku as saying.
He, however, said Tinubu’s health situation, early school, and early years are all shrouded in secrecy not known to the public or the people he wants to rule.
“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,” Atiku emphasized.
