The presidential flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has once again thrown shades at his counterpart, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Tinubu, who was in Kano on Sunday, October 23, says he will give his full devotion to the service of Nigeria and its people if given the mandate to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the Vanguard newspaper, the former Lagos state governor, in what seems like a subliminal shot aimed at the Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, said he will not be a part-time president who will spend half of his time in Dubai.
As contained in a report by the Punch newspaper, Tinubu’s Media Officer, Tunde Rahman, in a statement released in Abuja, quoted the APC stalwart saying:
“I won’t be a part-time President who will share time between living in Dubai and Nigeria. I would concentrate attention and energy on confronting and surmounting Nigeria’s pressing challenges.”
Prequel to Tinubu’s jibes at Atiku, his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, once referred to Atiku as a political tourist.
But while speaking in Kano during a close session with the Tijjaniyyah sect, Shettima acknowledged Atiku as a father but said Nigeria needs a president devoted to its people.
