The national chairperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Iyorchia Ayu, on Thursday, made an error while speaking at the party’s campaign rally held at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.
While speaking on the why the people of the state should not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayu said: “PDP has brought us shame”, but after a few seconds, he corrected himself and said “APC”.
He intended to say the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Ayu’s gaffe is the latest in a string of slip-of-tongue by presidential candidates.
On December 13, 2022, the PDP presidential candidate, while speaking at the party’s campaign rally in Plateau state, begged the people of the state to “ensure that you vote for A… I mean PDP this time around”.
Also Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), during a campaign rally of the party said: “God bless PD…APC”.

In Kano today, Iyorchia Ayu, the PDP National Chairman, confessed that PDP has brought shame and we should not retain them in power.
This obvious costly slip-of-tongue will not make any headlines. Watch out for some Press reports on this! pic.twitter.com/vOHgXKYX9a
