The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu says he wonders why the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) still exists.
Gatekeepers News reports that Tinubu spoke at the unveiling of the Tinubu/Shettima door-to-door campaign group in Abuja.
Tinubu described the PDP as a party that lacks direction.
He urged members of his party not to be bothered about the opposition.
Tinubu said, “We are not just the ones to hurl abuses and insults at our rivals’ party. We don’t need it. We are smarter; we are brilliant; we are courageous; we are not like them.
“They spent 16 years and forgot that there is a railway infrastructure that can do haulage, human carriage, animal husbandry and food carriage across the length and breadth of the country.
“They (PDP) got there and turned it to an incubator. I wonder why they still exist as a party. These are people still fighting for leadership of their party, looking for the direction of the compass. We are not equal at all; we are smarter. We know the road; let them follow.
“We don’t need to worry about PDP — poverty development party. Today, let’s lower the temperature. It’s not the time to campaign yet. They will hear a lot from us.
“We are the party of progressive ideas. We want good education for our children, good development for Nigeria, prosperity for this country, agricultural and agro-allied projects to be embarked upon.”
Tinubu said the APC has the solution to the country’s problems, adding that the party is strategising to tackle the challenges.
“We have the confidence that we have what it takes. We have the courage, determination, perseverance and foresight to identify the problems of Nigeria and tackle them headlong and make a solution out of them for the prosperity of your children. We will guarantee tomorrow, jobs for your grandchildren, and the progress of tomorrow,” he said.
“All we are doing is strategising, calculating and organising ourselves to confront the challenge before us.”
