Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate for the All Progressives Congress (APC), said on Friday that Atiku Abubakar, the nominee for the People’s Democratic Party, is a recurrent candidate who needs a break.
The PDP candidate had run for president five times without success.
Abubakar ran for the highest political position in the country in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019, making 2023 his sixth attempt to win one of the toughest positions in the world.
At a gathering in the Delta State community of Gbaramatu, Tinubu advised the former vice president to relax.
The former governor of Lagos State also downplayed Peter Obi’s chances of winning the presidency in the upcoming election.
He said the former Anambra State governor was obsessed with wrong statistics and arithmetics.
The APC national leader insisted the ruling party would emerge victorious in the 2023 election.
He said: “There are few us running. One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running? He is always on the run and he is tired. Tell him to go and sit down. Enough is enough.
“The other one thinks we are going to eat statistics. He lies with arithmetics that no Indians can solve. To mention his name is a disgrace to me. I won’t mention his name. Nigeria doesn’t need wrong statistics, arithmetics, and warehouse economy.”
