Mr Tinubu had told the party faithful and supporters who gathered at the venue of the rally not to follow the PDP and Atiku because they do not know the road.
presidential campaign council says Arise TV and ThisDay newspaper misrepresented some comments of the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, during his campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River State, on Tuesday.
The campaign council said it was “not unmindful of the antics of Thisday and Arise News to deliberately misrepresent our candidate and accentuate anything they think will project Asiwaju Tinubu in a bad light since the beginning of this electioneering circle.” The APC PCC and the duo of ThisDay and Arise TV, owned by Nduka Obaigbena, have constantly been at loggerheads since the campaign season began over the refusal of Mr Tinubu to attend the debate and town hall engagements for presidential candidates organised by TV station.
Anyone who followed the entire sequence and context of what Asiwaju said at the rally in Calabar will know he directed his missiles against PDP and Atiku. Let’s we forget, the PDP left the forex reserve at $28 billion by May 2015, when Buhari took over despite unprecedented revenue from crude oil. Our candidate explicitly said the people should not follow PDP and Atiku because they don’t know the road.
In contrast, throughout this campaign up till now, Asiwaju Tinubu has consistently said PDP and all the opposition parties put together do not know the road to prosperity for Nigeria. He also said the competing candidates do not have the track record he amassed as governor of Lagos.
