Atiku To Tinubu: I Challenge You To Sit For A 1-Hour Interview by aminulive: 8:14pm On Jul 23, 2022
POLITICSNIGERIA.COM

The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has challenged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to sit for a 1 hour interview with any television.

Atiku's comments are coming after the Tinubu campaign group criticised his recent interview with Arise Television, branding him an 'expert in lies'.

Responding to this, Atiku's campaign team, in a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Saturday evening replied Tinubu, daring him to sit for an hour-long interview as it would be a good opportunity to see if he was as articulate and mentally fit as the former vice-president.

The statement read; "We were rather amused to read the knee jerk response from the Tinubu Campaign Organisation to the wave making interview granted by Waziri Atiku Abubakar to Arise TV on Thursday, July 21, 2022."

"Amusement, because we expected this. Mr. Tinubu has not sat down to do any prolonged interview for obvious reasons. Nigerians have seen him talk in public and can themselves gauge the reason why he is mortified to do so."

"Nevertheless, I will now take the issues in their statement one after the other."


"The Tinubu campaign exposed its gross desperation and vacuousness by citing the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) 1999, to declare Waziri Atiku Abubakar’s stance on engaging in a side business while he was a young custom officer as a breach of the law. It is pertinent to educate the Tinubu campaign organisation that Nigeria is not under a military regime and our Constitutions are not retroactive in nature."

"Again, the Tinubu campaign betrayed either dishonesty or lack of attention to detail by claiming that Atiku Abubakar said oil contributed 20% of Nigeria’s GDP. That is a lie. What the Waziri said is as follows:
“Oil only maybe accounts for about 20% of our GDP."


"The use of the word maybe by the Waziri was in reflection to the different figures given. While the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics states a figure close to 10%, other multilateral organisations have given a much higher figure of between 15-20%. So, while the jury is still out, it is right to qualify the contribution of oil and gas as a maybe. However, we do like to point out that Waziri Atiku Abubakar mentioned both the PDP and the APC during the interview and did not forget the name of his own party."

"It seems the Tinubu campaign organisation (can a disorganised body be called an organisation?) does not know the meaning of rotation of power and micro zoning. So, we will gladly educate them. Rotation of power refers to a constitutional provision where power is zoned between North and South. Micro-zoning refers to a non constitutional idea, where power is zoned not between North and South, but amongst geo-political zones. We hope this cures the political illiteracy of the authors of that document."

"The rude response also accuses Waziri Atiku Abubakar of having “limited education”. Atiku Abubakar has an earned Masters degree from Anglia Ruskin University. We challenge any of the present Presidential candidates to present an equal or higher degree. Moreover, his university attendance is a matter of verified record. Can we say the same about some other persons?"

"On President Lincoln, we are afraid the poor student of history is the Tinubu campaign disorganisation. Yes, it is true that Lincoln ran for President with his name on the ballot twice. But he ran at other times, and failed to get his name on the ballot."

"In conclusion, we would like to challenge Bola Tinubu to subject himself to an hour long interview, like the Waziri did, and if he is able to be as articulate and mentally present as our candidate, then he can talk. Until then, we will only want to remind him and his yes men that they are not in a position to point fingers when they have not sat on the hot seat."

Any body that calls themselves Nigerian should vote a president that can handle a simple one hour interview. Without scripted questions. If Tinubu can do this successfully he will at least clear many doubts as per his geriatrics.

Peter Obi is more than capable grin

I love this challenge. Even Tinubu supporters knows he can't take the heat. That is why he has been hide from the press even though he has media house. I can't wait to see Tinubu, Atiku and Peter Obi having a televised debate on national TV. It will be bloody. I just hope the penalists will be neutral

The Atiku camp would rather coat illegality with ineptitude and impunity in garbs of deceit and NONSENSICAL presentations.

IT IA A KNOWN FACT THAT MOONLIGHTING EXRCISE IS BOTH ANEMIC INCONSISTENT WITH THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISIONS IN MOST EMPLOYMENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD AMONGST WHICH NIGERIA TAKES PROMINENCE.

It is a clash of interest for Nigerian civil servants to engage in private business activities whilst on active duty. MOONLIGHTING is not allowed in most cases.

NO SERIOUS CANDIDATE IN A CONTEST WOULD RESORT TO UNCERTAINTY HERESAY AND NOT WELL REHEARSED DATA FOR PUBLIC DISCUSS.

Atiku should have gotten his facts right before public commentaries and pronouncements. Probability and hyperbolizes are indications of UNTIDINESS by a serious presidential candidate for Nigeria at this crossroad we found ourselves in recent times and perhaps, explains the mess we are in currently which stems largely from 1999 when he and his Otta brute boss entrenched the country in this MESSY state.

10% 20% AND ANY INCONSISTENT NOSENSICAL DATA ARE OF UNSOUND PROPONENTS AND FROM SOMEONE LIKE THE Waziri Atiku WHO WAS IN GOVERNMENT AND AT NEAR APOGEE OF SUCH DECISION AND POLICY MAKING ORGAN IS DISAPPOINTING AND DISGRACEFUL.

Therefore, unacceptable. To even imagine that his group would make an issue of sufficient MEDIOCRITY is also abysmal and a warning SIGNAL to Nigerians.
