2023: You Run Your Mouth Like An Amnesia Patient – PDP Blasts Shettima

PDP has replied to Shettima’s comments on Atiku unifying the nation.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the main opposition has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is shrouded in mystery and Nigerians cannot have faith in them.

The People’s Democratic Party in a statement on Wednesday said APC’s presidential running mate, Kashim Shettima, was running his mouth like someone who is suffering from amnesia when he played down PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar’s ability to unify Nigeria.

This online media platform understands that Shettima and his principal, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday asserted that Atiku cannot unite Nigeria when he could not unite his party.

The APC chieftains made the remark at a meeting with private sector players in Lagos. In a swift response to the APC presidential hopeful and his running mate, the Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign, Dele Momodu, suggests Shettima is suffering from amnesia.

In a rejoinder, Momodu said Shettima tried to point fingers at the specks in another man’s eyes while ignoring those in his.

The PDP insists the APC is in total disarray with prominent members openly apologizing to Nigerians for ‘unmitigated disaster”.

According to the PDP chieftain, it took almost forever for the ruling party to constitute its Presidential Campaign Council due to disunity.

“It is very obvious that APC has become completely rudderless and many self-respecting members are jumping ship and being recovered by PDP,” he said.

Momodu stressed that the platform cannot unite Nigerians when they’ve shown disdain for the democratic and voting rights of certain ethnic groups within their domains.

The chieftain said everything about APC and its candidates were shrouded in secrecy and “they are just unable to tell Nigerians the truth”.

“How can Nigerians be expected to place their faith in such mysterious characters?” he quipped.

The PDP dares Tinubu and Shettima to point out businesses they managed successfully, “except living outlandishly on government booty and largesse”.

“How can APC be expected to guarantee the safety of lives and properties?” Momodu added that while Shettima was Borno Governor, Boko Haram became “an intractable menace Nigeria is yet to fully recover from”.
