The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that Nigerians would reject any candidate put forward by President Miuhammadu Buhari for the 2023 presidential election.
Buhari had said in a Channels TV interview on Tuesday that he would not reveal his successor. But the opposition party in a swift reaction says whoever the president put forward will be vehemently rejected by Nigerians.
The party warned that Nigerians don’t need Buhari to decide his successor in 2023.
The PDP also stated that Nigerians would firmly resist any presidential candidate Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, would field in 2023.
In a series of tweets on its verified Twitter handle, PDP wrote: “The @OfficialPDPNig asks President @MBuhari to end his thoughts of a successor as Nigerians will firmly resist any candidate put forward by him and his @OfficialAPCNig in the 2023 Presidential election.
“The @OfficialPDPNig also berated President @MBuhari for embarrassing his office and making a huge joke of himself by appearing confused and dwelling on false figures and bogus performance claims in his disastrous @channelstv interview on Wednesday, January 5, 2022.”
