Atiku/Okowa campaign team mocks Tinubu, says his lack of integrity has forced Buhari to stay away from his campaign

In a statement, spokesperson of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it was an absurdity that a presidential candidate that was beleaguered by several allegations bordering on corruption, perjury, identity theft, inconsistencies in name as well as alleged narcotics offence, for which he forfeited a gargantuan sum of $460,000 to the United States of America, could muster the courage to address any gathering whatsoever on the issue of integrity.

The Atiku/Okowa campaign also wondered why Asiwaju Tinubu had defended the identity theft of the picture of former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, which was deliberately used by his campaign organization to portray him as a bright youngman?

The Atiku/Okowa campaign said the continuous absence of President Buhari at the APC presidential campaigns showcased a concern by Mr President that Tinubu, because of his lack of integrity, would lose a free, fair and credible poll at the February 25 presidential election.

“Our campaign also holds that President Buhari is distancing himself from the Tinubu’s campaign because of the inability of the APC presidential candidate to provide convincing explanation on his links to the alleged forfeiture of $460,000 to the United States authorities in a narcotic related matter,” it said.

It counseled Tinubu to stop dishing empty promises to Nigerians since compatriots had yet to recover from similar events which he led in the past and urged Nigerians to continue to give their support to the leading presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the collective drive to rescue and rebuild the nation.
