PDP PCC fire back at Tinubu, claim he’s unfit for Presidency
The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation has said the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is unfit to hold office as president.
The organisation said this while mocking the APC candidate over “his failed attempt to impute illness on the healthy and energetic presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.”
The PDP was responding to a call by the APC Presidential Campaign Council for Atiku to open up on his health status and address the allegation that he operated a corruption channel while serving as vice president under ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Reacting via a statement signed by the Spokesperson for Atiku-Okowa Campaign Organisation faulted the attempt by the APC “to impugn the impeccable character and integrity of the incoming peoples’ president, Atiku.”
The statement was titled ‘Atiku/Okowa Mocks Tinubu: You Are Unfit to Hold Office as President…Says APC Candidate Is Corruption Personified’.
It read in part, “It is imperative to observe that our campaign had focused on issues and refrained from Tinubu’s appalling health issues prior to this ignoble public dance of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign.
“However, since Tinubu by himself has opened the channels for Nigerians to examine his ill health, we have no other option than to further expose that the APC candidate must be suffering from manifest Parkinson’s disease accompanied by incontinence.
“For clarity, Parkinson disease is a brain disorder whose symptoms include shaking hands, stiffness of limbs, difficulty with coordination, problem with balance when walking, articulation disorder, memory problems as well as general mental and physical weakness which are all being witnessed in the APC presidential candidate.
“This perhaps accounts for the desperation, the endless gaffes, the articulation errors, the incoherence, the many blunders and disconnection from reality for which Asiwaju Tinubu has become the butt of weird jokes among Nigerians and internationally.
“It is rather unfortunate that the APC presidential candidate, who cannot stand erect or walk up an elevation unaided, who is plagued by visible tremor of the hands, who palpitates at the slightest physical exertion and who is reported in the public space as being challenged by incontinence could attempt to speak on the health status of any Nigerian.
“Moreover, some medical professionals have associated certain cases of nerve cell death with narcotic use and unhealthy lifestyle and our campaign urges Tinubu to examine himself in that regard.
“Furthermore, Nigerians find it incongruous that the tarnished Asiwaju Tinubu who is badgered by a smelly criminal past including the $460,000 forfeiture sentence for narcotic related offense by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States; alleged looting of Lagos State treasury and stripping of her property; cases of forgery, impersonation, perjury, inconsistencies in name, age as well as questionable educational background, ancestry and genealogy could attempt to speak on corruption and integrity.”
The statement urged Tinubu to rather “hide his face in shame giving his malodourous activities for which well-meaning Nigerians have dissociated themselves from his presidential campaign.
“In any case, Nigerians are aware that Tinubu is not ethically, physically and mentally fit to hold office as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, unlike the decent, honest, physically, mentally and emotionally fit Atiku Abubakar, who exhibits the manifest readiness, intellectual alertness, capacity and experience to lead our nation at this critical time.
“Those pushing Emilokan’s candidature cannot claim to be unaware that he is not fit to preside over a country of 200 million people.
“They just don’t wish Nigeria well!”
