Momodu claims APC, Tinubu cannot unite Nigerians

The All Progressives Congress and Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, are unable to bring Nigerians together, according to Dele Momodu, director of strategic communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council.

In a statement headlined “Atiku: APC’s Shettima Suffering From Amnesia – PDP Campaign Organization” and dated Wednesday, November 2, 2022, Momodu raised concern over what he called an “open disrespect for the democratic and voting rights of specific ethnic communities within their domains.”

The APC presidential candidate and his vice presidential running mate were quoted as saying on Tuesday at a gathering in Lagos that the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, could not bring Nigerians together. This is how the PDP campaign director responded.

Momodu said, “It is our belief that Alhaji Shettima, in a moment of deliberate amnesia, must have tried to point fingers at the specks in another man’s eyes while studiously ignoring the giant logs in his own eyes.”

Momodu described the APC as a disorganised party with chieftains openly apologising to Nigerians for the undiminished damage it forced on Nigeria since 2015 which resulted in a mass exodus of APC members to the Peoples Democratic Party.

He further stated, “It took almost forever for APC to achieve the simple task of constituting its Presidential Campaign Council, due to the total lack of unity in their party. It is very obvious that APC has become completely rudderless and many self-respecting members are jumping ship and being recovered by PDP.

“How can these APC candidates ever unite Nigerians when they’ve shown open disdain for the democratic and voting rights of certain ethnic groups within their domains?”

The statement further said that APC and its candidates have been shrouded in secrecy and they are just unable to tell Nigerians the truth about anything, stressing, “how can Nigerians be expected to place their faith in such mysterious characters?”
