2023: Atiku’s Camp Speaks On Tinubu, Says He’s A Tribal Evangelist

Atiku’s camp has described Tinubu as a Tribal Evangelist.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the camp of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has described the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu as a tribal evangelist.

The spokesman of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council, Daniel Bwala stated this while reacting to the statement of Tinubu during his meeting with leaders of Afenifere on Sunday.

Bwala in a statement released on Monday said the comment of Tinubu that he would bring the trophy home at the meeting is an ethnic insinuation and divisive remark.

Recall that Afenifere and some Southwest leaders on Sunday endorsed Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

The statement read, “So to Tinubu, the race to become the president of Nigeria is a trophy to be won and taken to his ethnic enclave. He was not only wrong in his tribal insinuation that not a single Yoruba opposed the ticket, but he also lied because lots of Yorubas took strong objections to the same faith ticket and to his divisive and religious politics.

“To say that his ticket is supported by all Yorubas is, to say the least disingenuous, false, and condemnable.

“Tinubu has made no secret about his tribal championship and utter disregard for other ethnic people in southern Nigeria. This to say the least is sad and terribly troubling and Nigerians should rise and condemn this rhetoric at the polls.”
