The group was reacting to the oppositions’ recent comments on the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in a statement by its spokesman, Joshua Owoyomi, on Saturday.
Owoyomi accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) and their presidential candidates of adopting “pathetic tactics” to promote their campaigns.
He noted that comments by the opposition on Tinubu’s health status without meaningful evidence were aimed at diverting attention from their inability to perform while in government.
“We have noticed with total dismay the continuous pathetic tactics adopted by the oppositions during this campaign period,” the APM spokesman said.
“We expected the candidates to tell Nigerians what they did while in government, rather than distorting facts and figures all about.”
He also claimed that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been unable to identify verifiable achievements when he served as Vice President of Nigeria.
“The same Atiku, who as a sitting Vice President established a university while ASUU was on strike, is now telling us he has the ability to end continuous ASUU strike,” Owoyomi ssaid
On Peter Obi, the LP presidential candidate, the group spokesman said that he was in the race to fill the numbers.
“For him, it is best to let him enjoy his new found fame. He is only in the race to fill the numbers like some in his new party did in time past.
“Let it be known to him that emotions are not counted in elections, but votes,” he said.
