The Peoples Democratic Party, on Friday, claimed that with the outcome of last weekend’s governorship election in Osun State, the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, should withdraw from next year’s election.

This is as the party alleged that the former Lagos State governor’s effort to “frustrate” the outcome of the election won by its candidate and Governor-elect, Ademola Adeleke, was rejected by stakeholders in Abuja.

The PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba, made the allegation during a press conference in Abuja on Friday.

“Asiwaju Tinubu’s humiliating rejection in Abuja, where he had reportedly rushed to in a desperate bid to frustrate the smooth conclusion of the Osun State Governorship election is a clear testimonial that the APC presidential candidate has been roundly deflated.

“Our party is privy to reports of how doors were locked against APC leaders in Abuja and how their frantic telephone calls and corrupt offers to truncate the Osun election were turned down,” Ologunagba alleged.

The PDP’s spokesperson noted that the party was also “appalled by the nauseating, blasphemous and unpardonable act by APC in hiring street artisans, fraudsters and touts and criminally dressing them in bishop’s vestments to orchestrate an endorsement for its collapsing presidential campaign”.

“The PDP, in the strongest term, condemns this profane and highly provocative act of desperation by the sinking APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the face of APC’s collapsing leadership, membership and followership structure across the country.

“Nigerians were sickened by videos and pictorial evidence of known mechanics, bus conductors and fraudsters sacrilegiously being dressed in fake bishop vestments and paid to endorse the unveiling of Asiwaju Tinubu’s widely rejected running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima.

“Such action is unacceptable and unbecoming of any individual aspiring to a leadership position at any level let alone, the office of the President. This is an embarrassment to leadership.

“With this scandalous act, Asiwaju Tinubu, who is still battling with issues of alleged perjury, non-existent certificate and allegations of extortions has become more ethically challenged and lost all moral standing to seek election as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“More sickening is the outcry by the hirelings that they were defrauded by agents of the APC Presidential candidate, who paid them sums ranging from N30,000 to N40,000 as against the N100,000 they were earlier promised.

“It is therefore ludicrous that instead of being remorseful and asking for forgiveness, the APC Presidential Campaign is shamelessly posting lame denials and excuses in the face of hard and verified evidence of its involvement in the shameless venture.”

On Osun election, Ologunagba said, “It is now crystal clear to Nigerians why the people of Asiwaju’s ancestral State of Osun and the South West geo-political zone which ought to be his natural stronghold outrighly rejected him and his APC in the July 16, 2022 Governorship election in Osun the State.

“PDP’s sweeping victory and the spontaneous jubilation across our country are direct statements by Nigerians on their resolve to stand on the platform of the PDP to free themselves from the agonizing stranglehold of the lying, cruel and life-discounting APC and its presidential candidate.”

He added, “The APC Presidential candidate and his party should know that it is in his own interest to withdraw from the race as it will be futile to go into an election in which the Will and aspiration of the people are manifestly against him and the APC.

“Asiwaju has no political fighting chance in the face of the soaring popularity of PDP’s very competent, candid, transparent, people-oriented and much more prepared Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar at the poll.

“The PDP is poised for a winning campaign and as always, our Party is open to suggestions and further collaborations with well-meaning Nigerians as we collectively march to liberate our nation in the 2023 general elections.”

The greatest legacy president Buhari can bequeath to Nigerians is a free and fair election.

The greatest legacy he will leave on Nigeria is a free and fair election. Let the person who majority of the citizens decide, be the president.

He refused to sign the bill on two occasions but succumbed to pressure from Nigerians. He never wrote the bill. Even the members of the National Assembly didn't know the content until after it was signed.

The bill must have been contracted out to one American or European firm conversant with Nigerian politics to draft for our Legislative appendage

The people's choice must stand. So shall it be 2023

na wao

You can’t tell a candidate to withdraw because you assume the people want your own candidate, let the result speak come 2023 , the election will be free and fair , we will all witness it , the people will make their choice, you’re not the one to decide for them or make unnecessary assumptions!

He rushed for the remote control not knowing that Buhari has removed the batteries.

Tinubu is a national embarrassment

So Abuja has the power to over turn the election

When they use money to buy power, what do you expect they are going to do when they get that power?? APC and PDP supporters should ask themselves that question

Tinubu has become a national disgrace. His greed, selfishness & wickedness have gotten the best of him.
Someone who should have been chilling quietly & enjoying his godfather status in Lagos wants to fulfill his lifelong ambition of becoming a president at the detriment of his illness & the peaceful coexistence of Nigeria by going for an alleged Boko Haram sponsor as his VP.
Tinubu has been embarrassing himself lately & making silly mistakes that even a novice in politics would dare not make.
Well as the saying goes, whom the gods want to punish, they.............

He has signed, he has signed. That is what is important.

The Osun debacle is just a tip of the iceberg of what will befall this desperate over ambitious criminal.
