Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima, the presidential candidates for the All Progressives Congress (APC), have come under fire from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for meeting former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The PDP's national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba, recalls how Tinubu attacked and propagandized against Jonathan's government.
Ologunagba issued a series of tweets in which he expressed concern that Tinubu and Shettima would not be saved in 2023 by the
picture they had with Jonathan.He stated: "The APC Presidential Candidate, his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima and other APC leaders shamelessly orchestrated a photo opportunity with the distinguished and successful former President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party in an effort to posture as statesmen, attempting to whitewash their battered public image (PDP).
"This is a patriotic Nigerian leader, whose PDP-led purposeful and successful administration the APC leaders aggressively persecuted, continuously insulted, labeled, destroyed, and humiliated for their self-centered power-grabbing business.
Nigerians "have not forgotten how Asiwaju Tinubu vilified and disparaged Dr. Jonathan with callousness, spewed hate against his administration, and reportedly funded a nearly riotous protest that was stoked by invented economic lies, propaganda, and false statistics to discredit the Jonathan-led PDP administration."
