The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has described President Bola Tinubu as a disaster, warning him that threats and insults can’t silence his campaign.
The former vice president made the remark in a statement signed by Phrank Shaibu, the Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC’s Presidential Campaign Council, where he criticised Tinubu for attacking his campaign promises.
According to the statement, Atiku said, “Bola, Nigerians have tested your leadership. The outcome is clear: you’re a disaster. In Yoruba culture, it is said that a calabash filled with pepper symbolises leadership that is hostile, while a calabash filled with honey symbolises leadership that is welcoming and hospitable. Yours is a calabash of pepper.
“You say Nigeria will never go back to having subsidised petrol prices. You are wrong. With the support of God and following the will of the Nigerian people, I will bring back a clear and fair fuel subsidy system that is connected to local fuel refining.

Take blame for your political choices, not Buhari – Ex-presidential aide replies Amaechi “Nigerians will see direct benefits from reduced energy costs, such as lower prices for petrol and diesel. You are attacking my campaign because you know what it stands for: it’s a different option from the difficulties you’ve put on the people.
“You want me removed from the ballot at any cost, but the people of Nigeria will make their choice. I’m on that ballot, and I’ll win by a big margin. After three and a half years in office, you have nothing to show for your time in power.
“Your own history of failures is the most powerful argument against you. My Affordable Life campaign will not be stopped by your insults or your threats. I will guide Nigeria towards prosperity, growth, and development again.”
