Atiku, Tinubu On Warpath Over US $460,000 Forfeiture Judgment

For the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, the gloves are now definitely off in their ongoing credibility battle ahead of the 2023 presidential poll.

The duo engaged themselves more fiercely and aggressively yesterday over the purported indictment of Tinubu and subjection to criminal forfeiture judgement to the tune of $460,000 for an alleged narcotic offence by a United States court in Northern Illinois.

The PDP standard bearer fired the first salvo when he alleged that Tinubu was no longer eligible to contest the 2023 election on account of his indictment.

Speaking through the PDP national publicity secretary, Hon Debo Ologunagba, during a press conference in Abuja, Atiku asked Tinubu to withdraw from the race, saying he stands disqualified according to the provisions of Section 137 (1) (d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).

But the APC presidential candidate hit back hard at Atiku, saying by the grace of God he is unstoppable in the contest for the 2023 presidential election, adding that he would “retire Atiku to Dubai and finally stop him from perennially chasing the elusive presidential trophy.”

Speaking through the director, Media and Publicity of the APC presidential campaign council, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu noted that the opposition party cannot win the forthcoming election with the sponsoring of fake news.
