The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has said presidential candidate whose health was shrouded in secrecy should not be taken seriously.

His media adviser, Paul Ibe, was reacting to the comments made against his principal by the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu at an interactive session with members of the Tijjaniyyah sect in Kano last weekend.

Tinubu had, in apparent reference to Atiku Abubakar, said he won’t be a part-time president who would share his time between Dubai and Nigeria.

The PDP candidate had spent most of his time in Dubai after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, declared President Muhammadu Buhari winner of the 2019 election.

Ibe, who said Tinubu’s comment should not be taken seriously, stated: “The president of Nigeria, the most populous country in the black continent is not for comedians,” he said.

“The process of selecting a president is not a jamboree so the earlier the APC puts its house together and starts by having a council in place. They shouldn’t be taken seriously because of their inability to organise.

“Nobody should take the candidate of that party (APC) seriously. No one should take a candidate and a party whose health situation, early school, and early years are all shrouded in secrecy. No one should take such a candidate seriously.”

Atiku is a bully. He thinks the entire north will support him. He thinks he can win the presidential election by getting block votes only from the north. He's mistaken. He stole the South's mandate by forcing his way in the primaries and neglecting constitution. No one should take him serious.

Tinubu is our president come 2023.

Tinubu's time has expired. Nigeria at this point deserves the best. We cannot afford after 8yrs of Buhari's misgovernce to have a misl Muslim ticket under the leadership of a very sick, old, super corrupt, drug lord. If he is strong enough, EFCC should try him for many financial crimes

Nigeria is too big for just anybody from the South to be president. Our country has suffered enough and we deserve the best. May God forbid BAT-thing
