Atiku Calls Tinubu Hypocrite For Seeking Reconciliation

Atiku Calls Tinubu Hypocrite For Seeking Reconciliation

The Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has called Bola Tinubu a hypocrite over his call for healing after a violent election.

Tinubu had in a statement said he was saddened by the infractions in some states as well as the divisive rhetoric that characterised the polls.

Responding, Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement on Tuesday, however, described Tinubu’s statement as an after-thought and hypocritical garbage.

He said it was curious that Tinubu was talking about reconciliation after his minions allegedly attacked Igbo voters in Lagos in order to give his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) advantage during the governorship election.

Shaibu said transport hooligans, politicians and even traditional leaders in Lagos who were seen on video threatening non-indigenes were being protected.

“Tinubu’s latest statement is laced with hypocrisy and lies.

"For a whole month, traditional leaders, transport hooligans and politicians threatened non-indigenes but Tinubu kept mute.

"His lackey, MC Oluomo, who is a member of his Presidential campaign council, was seen on video threatening Igbo people but Tinubu said nothing.

"His campaign spokesmen, Bayo Onanuga and Femi Fani-Kayode, went on social media to warn Igbo people but Tinubu looked the other way.

“Traditional rulers imposed curfews and went about slaughtering goats and placing them in front of polling units but Tinubu said nothing.

"A traditional leader and council chairman in Gbara community, Eti Osa local government summoned non-indigenes to a meeting where they threatened non-indigenes with eviction if they failed to vote for the APC but Tinubu said nothing.

"Those invited by the police ignored invitations.

“On the day of election, many people who looked Igbo were beaten and prevented from voting but Tinubu kept mute.

"Now that the election is over, he has found his voice and is preaching reconciliation.

"He should tell that to the marines. If Tinubu is serious, he should ensure that all those found culpable are arrested and prosecuted.

"But we know he cannot do this because he is their godfather.”
