Atiku always on the run, Tinubu mocks ex-VP

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has mocked his People’s Democratic Party counterpart, Abubakar Atiku, for running multiple times for the presidency.

Tinubu was speaking during an engagement with Niger Delta stakeholders in Gbaramatu, in Delta State on Friday.

He noted that Atiku had been running for presidency, adding that the former Vice President must be tired from running.

Tinubu said, “As I stand before you, there are few of us left running. One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running?

“He’s always on the run and he is tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is enough.”

He also took a swipe at another presidential candidate whose name he refused to mention.

He went on to state that mentioning the person’s name was a disgrace to him.

The former Lagos State governor said, “The other one, that one he think (say) na statistics we go chop, he lies with arithmetic that no Indian can solve it (sic).

“To mention his name is a disgrace to me. I won’t mention the name. Wrong arithmetic, wrong statistics, warehouse economy; that is not what Nigeria needs.”
