Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has officially conceded to the electoral superiority of the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar says the Atiku\/Okowa Campaign Organization.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Atiku\/ Okowa Campaign also said it is inviting Nigerians to note the admission by the Tinubu Campaign, while responding to the recent Nextier Polls, that Atiku Abubakar is well-grounded, more popular than Senator Tinubu and poised for victory in the most states of the South East, South South, South West, North East and other Parts of the country.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
In a statement by the Spokesperson of the Atiku\/Okowa Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, he said, “While we completely reject and do not recognize the said Nextier Polls as it is unsupported, baseless and unempirical, our Campaign however acknowledges Tinubu Campaign\u2019s submission in its response to Nextier that Adamawa (and by extension the North East) is a stronghold of the PDP Presidential Candidate and described any speculation to the contrary as \u201cridiculous\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Also, our Campaign acknowledges the admission by the Tinubu Campaign that South South States of Delta, the home State of the PDP Vice Presidential Candidate, Akwa-Ibom, the home State of the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Bayelsa, Edo and Rivers States are impregnable strongholds of Atiku Abubakar and the PDP and declare any poll to the contrary as jesting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“This is also the case in the South East States of Abia, Enugu, Anambra, Imo and Ebonyi which remain strongholds of the PDP with unwavering support for Atiku Abubakar.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ologbondiyan also said that it is clear that Atiku Abubakar is well grounded and more popular than Tinubu in States of the North West, including Katsina where the APC structure has collapsed into the PDP; Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi where APC members are daily moving in their millions to the PDP due to the overwhelming acceptability of Atiku Abubakar.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“In the same vein, in the North Central, the PDP Presidential Candidate is enjoying overwhelming popularity in Benue, the home State of the PDP National Chairman; Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau and the FCT where Nigerians have demonstrated their preference for the Atiku Abubakar and the PDP as evidenced in the swelling support base as well as the victory of the PDP in recent sub-national elections.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Our Campaign also notes that the Tinubu Campaign could not lay claim on the South West, ostensibly given the fact that Atiku Abubakar and the PDP are more popular than Tinubu in South West State of Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun as well as Lagos State where APC Presidential Candidate\u2019s popularity has fatally dipped following the shocking revelations of corrupt looting of the resources and assets of the State.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Having officially conceded to the political superiority of Atiku Abubakar ahead of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election, our campaign counsels Asiwaju Tinubu to quietly withdraw from the race so as to avoid a humiliating defeat.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Moreover, there is no way Nigerians will elect an individual convicted for trafficking in narcotic as the President of our nation. This is more so with the recent revelation that the APC and the Tinubu Presidential Campaign are behind the biting cash scarcity that has brought so much hardship and distress to Nigerians.”<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
