The All Progressives Congress (APC) Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign council has described the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as deflated party gasping for political breath.
Newsonline reports that Tinubu’s campaign council said the accusation from PDP that the former Lagos State governor is planning to unleash chaos in the 2023 election showed they are afraid of the loss they will suffer come February 25, 2023.
A statement signed and released by the spokesman for the APC presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo, added that PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and other contestants for the position of the presidency are enjoying democracy Tinubu fought for.

The statement read in part, “this is the height of delusion by a thoroughly deflated and confused political party which is presently gasping for political breath. This is the same unnecessary scare-mongering tactics and crass vituperations they employed and engaged in before the 2019 election which led to their crushing defeat.
“Instead of concentrating on the disaster presently ravaging their party and praying to God to just survive as a going entity after the 2023 elections, we are confronted by such irresponsible statement.
The Minister of state for Labour and Employment added, “let us remind the PDP that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a thoroughbred democrat and one of the major architects of the democracy PDP and Nigerians enjoy today, so he should be the very last of the Presidential candidates to be accused of undemocratic conduct or underhand dealings in the electoral process.
“These same characters who issued the statement were behind the poor showing of the PDP in 2019. They are doing the same thing the same way again and expect a different result. With a disjointed party, divided Governors and a comatose campaign, the PDP should realise the game is up. They are already finding excuses for their defeat. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu deserves an unreserved apology from the PDP.”
