Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, warned Nigerians on Saturday not to let the Peoples Democratic Party touch the country’s riches again. He claimed that the party squandered the potential it had when in power for 16 years.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Council quickly responded, asking Tinubu to go and attend to his health before attacking the party.
Tinubu, who addressed at a campaign rally in Surulere’s Teslim Balogun Stadium, promised to bring progressive government to education, health care, and job creation if elected president.
Tinubu Reveals Who To Handover To After Eight Years As President
He took a swipe at the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, describing him as a veteran aspirant who should go home and rest.
He said, “Atiku contested in the Social Democratic Party, he contested in PDP; he contested in (the defunct) Action Congress of Nigeria when we rescued him from Obasanjo. Now he is contesting again in PDP. He should go home and rest.
“Atiku has been running. Use your PVC (permanent voter cards) to vote him and his party out. Use your votes to retire him permanently this time. We must never again allow the rapacious and visionless gang of Peoples Destroying People to come near our commonwealth. They were in government for 16 years, they didn’t remember Badagry Expressway, they didn’t remember East-West Road, and they didn’t remember the Second Niger Bridge.”

He thanked the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), for his commitment to the development of Nigeria and Lagos State.
He also asked Lagos residents to re-elect Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the governor of the state. “Dear Lagosians, my appeal to you today is to ask you to renew the mandate of Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat for another four years. Do not let the execution and implementation of the bold vision of more than two decades be aborted or suspended.”
The party’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, the party’s vice presidential candidate, Senator Kashim Shettima, Chairman, Progressives Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu, and Governor of Plateau State, Simon Lalong were among those present at the rally.

Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Minister of Works and Housing, and Sunday Dare, Minister of Sports and Youth Development, were also present.
In response to Tinubu’s statements, Dino Melaye, the spokesperson for the PDP campaign council, said Tinubu’s close associates should advise him correctly rather than urging him on.
He stated, “God, why are these people wicked to this man? He called PVC, APV and corrected himself by calling it APC. This is advanced dementia! Get well soon, Tinubu! If Tinubu were mentally and physically fit, l would have known what to say but with his pitiable condition, we can only pray for him to get well and say no to the desperate people pushing him to perdition.”
