Buhari vs Atiku: Steer clear our presidential candidate – PDP warns Tinubu

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Thursday "sternly" warned the
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu over his smear campaign against its Presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar.

PDP warned the former Lagos State governor, "not to draw himself out
by joining in the smear campaign and unsavoury comments" against
Abubakar.

Tinubu, who had yesterday dismissed the strategic meeting held by
Abubakar in Dubai had said, "We don't fear. Whether it is in the
jungle, or it is in Dubai or it is in Abu Dhabi, people are free to
meet and strategise in any way they want but we are not going back to
the illusion of the PDP.

However, PDP's spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan in a statement warned
Tinubu not to reduce himself by engaging in, "indecorous utterances,"

The terse statement reads, "Asiwaju, as an elder, should not reduce
his pedigree by engaging in indecorous utterances which has become the
trademark of his dysfunctional party.

"It is also instructive to state that a person of Asiwaju status can
conduct his political activities without recourse to indecent language
that is lacking in respect for a personality, such as Atiku, whom
Nigerians, across board, have generally resolved to be their next
President.

"For the avoidance of doubt, despite the ludicrous disposition of APC
and its leaders towards the 2019 Election campaign, the repositioned
PDP and our presidential candidate remain committed to our promise to
focus on solutions to the myriad of problems facing our people and
transform their lives for the better.

"We, therefore, caution Asiwaju Tinubu to redirect the discourse of
his party to productive issues instead of this unbridled resort to
lies, deception, beguilement, propaganda, smear campaign and uncouth
language, which Nigerians now resent."
