Tinubu, not Atiku, should withdraw from race, says PDP’s spokesman
The PDP yesterday said Atiku would not resign over allegations of corruption.
The party said it is the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who should withdraw.
In a statement by the PDP spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, the party dismissed the call by the APC as irresponsible.
He said the call for Atiku’s resignation was a ploy to divert public attention from the issues affecting Nigerians.
Ologunagba said the corruption allegations levelled against Atiku were simulated by the ruling party.
He said it was ironic that the “embattled” Tinubu/Shettima campaign could attempt to impugn the “unimpeachable integrity” of the PDP presidential candidate.
He added: “For clarity and for the interest of Nigerians, it is on record that Atiku Abubakar is one of the most investigated public officials in this country.
“It is also on record that in all the investigations, Atiku Abubakar was never found culpable in any of the allegations.”
