The opposition Peoples Democratic Party has accused flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress Bola Tinubu of clinching the ticket of his party as a very great price.
The opposition party, while reacting to Tinubu’s victory at the Tuesday/Wednesday primaries, said the APC is already a crippled party.
PDP’s Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, had earlier congratulated Tinubu saying Tinubu was tenacious.
PDP, in its statement said Tinubu would “soon realize that Nigerians hold him responsible for his self-confessed role in installing the failed” government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Saying Tinubu clinched the APC ticket “at very great price” the party described the APC as “moribund, decrepit and crippled.”
It said the ruling party has “served out its purpose as a fraudulent contraption that brought in the failed, corrupt and rudderless administration of President Buhari.”

It added that Tinubu has embarked “on a journey to nowhere” saying the APC is no match in whatever capacity.
The party accused Buhari’s administration of subjecting the people to excruciating economic hardship, acute poverty, bloodletting, terrorism, mass killings.
“It is indeed reprehensible that Tinubu after being handed an
APC flag that refused to unfold in recognition of the gloomy times of the APC, did not demonstrate any form of remorse for the injuries he engineered and caused our nation in the last seven years. His failure to express empathy for the victims of violence, kidnapping, mass killings and acts of terrorism, especially the recent gruesome attack in a sacred place of worship, St. Francis Catholic Church, Owo in Ondo State serves as a foretaste of the big cover up and harrowing experience that Nigerians will face, God forbid, should Tinubu emerge as President in 2023.”
PDP said Tinubu’s acceptance speech further exposed his manifest lack of capacity, presence of mind, resourcefulness and selflessness to manage the affairs of a nation as complex as Nigeria. From
Tinubu’s egotistic outbursts before and after the APC’s manipulative National Convention, it is crystal clear that his life-long dream of clinching the APC Presidential ticket is not for the wellbeing of Nigerians but out of desperation to lay hands on the keys to the nation’s treasury. Tinubu has insulted the sensibilities of Nigerians enough and this APC National Convention will be his final political outing. This is because Nigerians have had enough and are now, more than ever before, ready and out on the platform of the APC to defend our nation and reject Tinubu.
PDP told Tinubu that Nigeria is not one of his acquired estates or fiefdoms and that the Nigerian people are not his political string-puppets and retinue of lackies, from whom he bought the
APC presidential ticket.
