The All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to come clean on his health status.
Tinubu made the call on Wednesday in a statement through the spokesman for the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Bayo Onanuga
The APC candidate also challenged Atiku to speak about corruption allegations against him.
The statement read:
“It’s time for Atiku Abubakar, the 76-year-old presidential candidate of the PDP to come clean over two issues beclouding his campaign. His health status and his scandalous confession of how he colluded with his former boss, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to fleece the Nigerian treasury, using Special Purpose Vehicles as vice-president in 1999.
“If Atiku has some modicum of honour, he ought to have stepped down from the presidential race that he is bound to lose again.”
This came after the release of his audio clip where he “provided a vivid explanation into the modus operandi of his legendary corruption.’’
Onanuga revealed that so far, there had been no notable response from Atiku’s camp about the disturbing revelation.
He hence urged Nigerians to reject Atiku at the polls in February.
He said:
“Atiku is also not talking about his health status even when his hirelings daily make futile attempts to divert public attention to his main rival by cooking up lies upon lies. Whereas Atiku is the candidate that Nigerians should be sorely worried about, the lies of several years and the various diversionary tactics are no longer sustainable.
“Atiku’s edifice of lies is about to crash on him; the PDP presidential candidate is certainly not okay, the papering efforts notwithstanding.”
