2023 presidency: Tinubu, Atiku in war of words over 'dummy' running mate
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that Bola Tinubu of the APC has replied to the candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar, over his comment on his inability to choose a permanent running mate at INEC stipulated deadline.
Atiku, in a statement, has said that the president's office requires someone with clarity of purpose who can decide on his running mates on time.
Tinubu, in his reaction, said it is unfortunate that Atiku and PDP made such a statement rather than paying attention to tackling their internal crisis.
