Atiku fires back at Tinubu, says presidential race not for drug trafficking

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was gathered to have responded promptly to the salvo against him by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, at a town hall meeting in the Niger Delta. Tinubu in an interactive session on Friday, in Delta State, was cited to have declared, “There are few of us left running, one says he is Atiku, how many times has he been running? He is always on the run and he is tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is Enough.”

The Special Adviser on Meia to Atiku, Paul Ibe, had in a telephone interaction with Channels Television, declared that “Atiku is not running for president in the 2023 elections to engage in drug trafficking, money laundering, forgery and perjury.”

Ibe maintained that, “those are the territories of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Tinubu.”

Ibe was cited to have declared: “It’s only in this country that you put people who are sane in the same environment with people who are mental. “It is really unfortunate.

“Let me start with where Atiku is not running to. He is not running to drug trafficking and money laundering. That’s Asiwaju’s territory. He is not running to forgery and perjury, forging documents and all. He is not running there. He is not running to a shaded past, early stages of life that are unknown. He is not running to hiding one’s medical state.”

Ibe maintained: “He is running to make Nigeria better for Nigerians; he is running to use his experience to transform and recover Nigeria for the good of all. He is running to unify the country that has been divided by over seven years of a clueless and incompetent APC administration foisted on us by characters like Tinubu. That’s why he is running.”
