APC Reacts To PDP’S Victory

The peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has reportedly received endorsement from  Northern Christian and Muslim Political Leaders but the All  Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has described  the endorsement as deceit.

The All progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC) has described  the endorsement  which Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar received by Northern Christian and Muslim Political Leaders as manipulative means of PDP endorsing themselves.

Northwest spokesman Muhammad Shehu Molash, the APC PCC pleaded  Nigerians  to not be deceived by the endorsement Atiku’s men are claiming are from northern political leaders.

“We wish to caution Nigerians, particularly northerners, that this is a new tactics by Atiku’s camp to unleash their foot soldiers, PDP elders masquerading as elder statesmen and other political entrepreneurs, on unsuspecting voters in the North, hiding behind hurriedly and poorly packaged groups to execute their agenda.

“The Atiku campaign organisation and think tank are obviously rattled by the growing acceptance of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Senator Kashim Shettima by the electorate in the North, hence they devised another means of defrauding the Northern voters, by whipping up sentiments.

“In the first instance, these self-appointed ‘Northern political leaders’ have always identified themselves with Atiku Abubakar and PDP. Therefore, it is a clear case of PDP endorsing PDP or PDP endorsing itself,” Molash said.

“We equally wish to state that our choice of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was informed by the need to uphold Nigeria’s unity through supporting one another to attain the highest office in the land; more so that Asiwaju Tinubu himself has always been supportive to presidential candidates of Northern extraction. It is only logical and natural to reciprocate that gesture”.

“We also wish to unequivocally state that majority of Northerners are disposed towards the idea of having a president of Southern extraction to preserve the kinship and unity that exist between the various ethnic groups in Nigeria,” Molash added.
