With 36 days until the election, Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, has been advised not to be misled by empty promises.
Earlier on Thursday, during a PDP presidential campaign rally in Ibadan, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke boasted that he would deliver his state and the South West in the presidential election on February 25.
However, in a joint statement signed by Oluremi Omowaiye and Kola Olabisi, chairman and co-chairman of the Media and Digital Communication Directorate, Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Osun State, Adeleke’s wish for general elections in the South West has been described as a pipe dream.
The statement advised Governor Adeleke to stop daydreaming and halt arrogating to himself the qualities he does not possess.
The APC spokespersons noted that: “Adeleke should be told point-blank that his administration is a bundle of disappointment and a source of regret for a handful of voters who fell under his spell and made his pyrrhic victory possible.
“As if the insult from the regent Governor Adeleke was not enough, he canvassed to spread the control of the PDP to all the South-West states to enable the people enjoy the dividends of democracy in the manner it is being enjoyed in Osun State.”
They also pressed Atiku Abubakar to explain his role in the sale of the now-defunct Machine Tools and Steel Rolling Mills in Osogbo.
