ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Kola Ologbondiyan, the spokesman of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization, on Sunday mocked Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), over empty Kano streets that greeted him during his campaign.
Ologbondiyan said the empty streets that stared at Jagaban, at the weekend, was the clearest sign that the APC was on the highway to extinction ahead of the 2023 election.
He said unlike Tinubu, the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, attracts a huge crowd of Nigerians who are always eager to receive him anywhere he goes.
Speaking on Sunday in Abuja, the campaign Spokesman recalled that the crowds “received the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, at his campaign rally in Benin, Edo State, as well as the two separate rallies held in Bida and Jibia in Niger and Katsina States respectfully.
“These are manifest proofs that Nigerians are resolute in voting for Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria come 25 February, 2023.”
Ologbondiyan further observed that the “thoughtless display of opulence” by Tinubu at his flopped Kano visit was completely objectionable and offensive to the people of Kano State, who cannot be influenced by pointless materials of show off.
He advised Asiwaju Tinubu to immediately apologize and also, stop such trips and actions.
“Nigerians in Kano watched in awe as a convoy of vehicles paraded the streets of Kano municipal without eliciting any attention from bystanders who went about their normal businesses.
“In a recorded video that has gone viral, one of the bystanders was heard saying; ‘God has shown them clearly that people aren’t supporting them. No one is concerned about them. It is very shameful; Kano people are not with them,” Ologbondiyan added.
He said that unlike the APC’s shameful outing in Kano, Atiku’s campaign is gaining more traction across the country because of his tenacity in addressing the issues and challenges brought upon Nigerians by the APC.
According to him, Atiku’s determination to revive the economy while making the unity of our nation number one priority sits well among Nigerians, Vanguard reports.
“He has also sworn to make insecurity a part of our sordid past by making State Police a plank of the security solutions he will introduce when sworn into office on 29 May, 2023.
“Atiku is bringing the light to our dark side. He is creating hope in our state of disillusionment,” Ologbondiyan added.
