For the second time this week, President Muhammadu Buhari has defiled all odds to join the campaign train of the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Damaturu, Yobe state capital yesterday
It would be recalled the Buhari was present at the campaign Tinubu’s campaign venue in Adamawa, yesterday, which elicited many reactions that his body language was not in tandem with the party’s flag bearer.
While reacting to the development, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, spokesperson, Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, mocked Tinubu that the president only lifted his hands without words, which indicated that he was forced to campaign amid speculations that he was against the party’s choice.
In his words, “The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization mocks the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as President Muhammadu Buhari, avoided the booby trap and failed to speak in his (Asiwaju’s) commendation at the APC Rally in Adamawa today.
“The public watched as a visibly embarrassed Asiwaju Tinubu had to put up with President Buhari merely raising his hand without speaking on his (Tinubu’s) personality despite the pressure being mounted on him (Buhari).
“It is clear that President Buhari attended the APC Presidential rally, after much prodding, only to satisfy partisan exigencies and not to campaign for Asiwaju Tinubu, who is badgered by allegations bothering on narcotics, corruption, perjury, forgery, identity theft among others for which most well-meaning Nigerians have distanced themselves from his Presidential bid”
