It is now a game of tit-for-tat as Atiku Abubakar/Ifeanyi Okowa People’s Democratic Party’s presidential campaign council has accused the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu of shying away from the ruling party’s woeful performance and campaigning with federal projects in Lagos State.
A spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council, PCC, Charles Aniagwu, stated this in an interview on Channels TV on Monday, while faulting claims made by Tinubu that he built Lagos.
Aniagwu said, “The level of insecurity was democratised to the extent that every part of the country became a killing field. Those are the things APC can do. And because they don’t want us to talk about it, you can see how they always run away from their national and abysmal failure.
“So, if he thinks that the federal roads that were built by the Federal Government from Ikeja through Anthony – of course having passed Maryland and then you pass through the Third Mainland Bridge completed by the (Ibrahim) Babangida administration to the Island – that those are the things they would be showing us, we would remind them that those things were there even before Tinubu became the governor of Lagos State.”
“Since they (APC) have performed so woefully at the national level and they don’t want to stay with their records at the national level, we would accompany them on that train to Lagos so that we would discuss Lagos.”
He said the PDP administration established organisations such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), introduced some bank reforms, and gathered some of the best brains in the country to work for the government.
