“They Are Full of Lies…PDP Has Brought Us Shame”, Ayu Slips Up at Kano Rally

• The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, has made a gaffe on Thursday during the party’s presidential campaign
• Ayu said that the PDP had brought shame and should not be retained in power. He intended to mean the All Progressives Congress
• Recall that while speaking in January 2023 during a presidential campaign rally in Lokoja, Kogi Atiku asked his supporters to vote for the ruling APC

Iyorchia Ayu, the national chairperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Thursday, made an error while speaking at the party’s campaign rally in Kano state.

The rally was held at the Sani Abacha Stadium in the state.

While speaking on the reasons the people of the state should not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayu said: “PDP has brought us shame”, but after a few seconds, he corrected himself and said “APC”.

Ayu said if Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, is elected, policies that will improve the country’s economy will be implemented.

“They are full of lies. They have nothing to offer the ‘talakas’ (poor) in Nigeria. We will come back. Our president, Atiku Abubakar, who you will vote to power in the next few weeks, we will rally around him. We will discuss our policies, and we will see where it is affecting you. We will make sure we implement a successful policy that will bring back Nigeria to its glory,” Ayu said.

“We are supposed to be the leaders in Africa and everywhere in the world, we should be respected. PDP has brought us shame and we will not continue to retain them in power… APC.

“Vote for PDP from top to bottom, from bottom to top; Atiku Abubakar as president.”

Meanwhile, Reno Omokri, one of the prominent chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a strong supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, has pulled some stunts.

Omokri took to his Twitter page on Wednesday evening to state that if Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer could not lift people out of poverty when he was the governor of Anambra, how would he do that at the national level?

The former presidential aide then went further to declare that if Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had said that, Nigerians would have fallen for it.
