Mr. Phrank Shaibu, Special Assistant, Public Communication to the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has stated that the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, is haunted by his alleged treacherous political past in his desperation for power.” Shaibu stated this yesterday in Abuja.
He went on to say that the late denial of an alleged meeting/agreement with Governor Nyesom Wike that led G-5 PDP Governors to trade off APC candidates in exchange for their support “is a barefaced lie” told to appease those whose positions are being traded off.
In his desperation for power, he claimed Tinubu was willing to throw his party under the bus in the five PDP states.
Shaibu said, “This desperation was brought to the fore in 2011 when Tinubu removed the rug from under Nuhu Ribadu of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and made a deal with the Federal Government to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan wins.
“This time round, Atiku’s aide said: “Apparently miffed by the reactions that have trailed his ignoble meeting with the G-5 Governors, Tinubu, told a barefaced lie by denying ever meeting the governors in London.
“Incidentally, Governor Nyesom Wike, who is known for his bravado, had failed to deny ever meeting with Tinubu, saying instead that “They said we had a meeting with so and so. What is your problem?
“I make bold to state that if the G-5 never met with Tinubu, Wike would have been the one to deny it.
“Curiously, while the news of the meeting, which was reported by several credible media houses was trending, two spokesmen for the APC Presidential campaign, Festus Keyamo and Femi Fani-Kayode, took to social media to celebrate the support Tinubu would be getting from the G-5.”
