Oshiomhole clears air on Tinubu, El-Rufai's 2023 presidential posters
- Adams Oshiomhole has accused the PDP of being behind Tinubu, El-Rufai's 2023 presidential posters
- The APC chairman said that the posters were meant to blackmail the ruling party
- Oshiomhole, however, noted that the party is now more focused on governance than politics
Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has cleared the air over the purported 2023 presidential posters of the party's national leader, Bola Tinubu and the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai.
Legit.ng reports that he said the governing party is focused on delivering good governance to Nigerians rather than 2023 elections.
Oshiomhole made this known in Abuja on Thursday, October 3, at a reconciliation meeting with the party’s stakeholders and aggrieved governorship aspirants from Bayelsa state.
He said: “I want to completely disassociate myself and members of our party from all those posters. We believe that these are the handiwork of PDP who think that they can create suspicion within the rank of APC by using some elements to print posters to create complete diversion."
He said that the people who may have ambition were aware that it is not the time for the electioneering campaigns.
Posters of Tinubu and El-Rufai for 2023 presidency had sparked debate among Nigerians.
In various parts of Kaduna city, posters which read, ‘El- Rufai 2023 (Mai Aiki) for President, Federal Republic of Nigeria’, sponsored by the Northern Youth Forum were seen.
Also in Ikeja, a large billboard of Tinubu could be seen around the ‘Ikeja Along’ bus-stop, with the words, ‘BAT 2023’, although it has since been taken down.
