Retire Atiku with your votes, he’s an ingrate — Tinubu tells Nigerians

By Adamu Abubakar Isa

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has described his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as an ingrate by deciding to run in the 2023 election.

Tinubu, who addressed a mammoth crowd of his supporters at the APC presidential rally at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, on Saturday, urged the people to retire Atiku with their PVC in 2023 so he (Atiku) would stop contesting.

Tinubu, who made brief remarks, vowed to carry on with the progressive policies of the Muhammadu Buhari Administration, assuring Nigerians that everybody would be carried along.

He described the forthcoming election as a broom revolution which would consume the opposition elements.

Taking a jab at Atiku in a veiled reference, Tinubu described the former vice president as an ungrateful person who has been running since 1999.

“He ran under PDP. He ran in ACN (Action Congress of Nigeria), we accepted him. He is an ingrate. He is not supposed to run again. Use your vote to retire him,” he added.
