- Atiku’s spokesperson advises APC to replace Tinubu as a candidate
- He lamented that Tinubu’s gaffes already supply comedians, skit makers, meme-makers, and TikTokers with content.
Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant (Public Communications) to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, advised the All Progressives Congress, APC on Sunday to replace Bola Tinubu in order to avoid more embarrassment in the 2023 election.
He claimed that, based on Tinubu’s statements and the scenarios caused by his continual slip-ups and gaffes, he should only be running for Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic and not Grand Commander.
“Tinubu may be a successful politician whose lifetime ambition is to be President of Nigeria, but it takes more than being a politician to become Nigeria’s President. Among other things, it takes credibility.
“The fact that everything about Tinubu is shrouded in secrecy should tell us that the APC presidential candidate lacks the credibility to govern a country like Nigeria.
“But more importantly, with the disaster that the APC administration has turned out to be, it will be more catastrophic to have a Tinubu as his successor. Governing Nigeria is not all about identifying surrogates who will man critical political offices for future political gains.
“Nigeria needs a debonair, cerebral, healthy, and suave President — a man in the mold of Atiku Abubakar”, Shaibu said.
According to him, it had become public knowledge that every time Tinubu came out in public to make a statement or two, he always goofed.
Shaibu said these in a statement titled, “Tinubu should be Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic,” obtained by journalists in Abuja on Sunday.
He said, “In his latest gaffe at the Lagos rally, he asked Nigerians to get their APV in order to vote for APC when even primary school children know that the PVC is the only item that admits a voter into a polling unit.

“If he is not saying that voter’s card has an expiration date, he is saying that young Nigerians are tweeting on WhatsApp or that 50 million youths should be recruited into the Nigerian Army and be fed with cassava in the morning, and ‘agbado’ in the night. How can you say Nigerians are tweeting on WhatsApp? Common, is that the kind of person we want to hand 21st Century Nigeria over to?
“Without mincing words, Tinubu’s gaffes already supply comedians, skit makers, meme-makers, and TikTokers with content. He is a self-writing joke and will make Nigeria a bye-word for scorn among the comity of nations, which is why he shouldn’t get close to power.
“Truth be told, old age is the most mis-recommending criterion against a Tinubu presidency. And examples abound to buttress this point. Just listen to any of his extempore speeches and what you find is a lack of coherence, logic, and verve. It is for the purpose of unmasking the real Tinubu and exposing him for who he really is, that we have challenged the APC standard bearer to an hour-long television interview.”
In other news, support groups of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, have denied reports that they joined the All Progressives Congress.
It read, “It has come to our attention of a fake story concocted by APC goons and making the rounds that some Atiku Support Groups have ditched the PDP for a dying APC.
“We wish to state clearly and unambiguously that the story is false and nothing but propaganda from the camp of the dementia-infested group of people of the APC and should be disregarded.
“Atiku groups are as solid as the rock and like a fine wine, we keep getting better and growing in number every day.
“The APC is a dead party that will cease to exist beginning in 2023. So, what business does the living has to do with the dead?
“By every indices, the APC has plunged Nigeria into a disaster, and February 25th, 2023 will be judgment day.
“The forthcoming 2023 presidential election will be a referendum on the dementia-infested and cocaine-trafficking camp of the APC.
“Nigerians will among others decide between agents of light and agents of darkness, between a bag of rice at N7000 in 2015 under PDP and N50,000 in 2022 under the APC, between PMS at N67 under PDP and N300 under the APC, between $100 minimum wage under the PDP in 2015 and $40 minimum wage under the APC in 2022.
“Nigerians now know better. Only an Atiku Abubakar presidency can and will deliver Nigeria and usher us on the path of prosperity.
“Therefore, the APC should note that no amount of propaganda can save the party from defeat in all elections and at all levels.”
