He affirmed:
“The PDP, in the strongest term, condemns this profane and highly provocative act of desperation by the sinking APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The PDP chieftain maintained that Nigerians were “sickened by videos and pictorial evidence of known mechanics, bus conductors and fraudsters sacrilegiously dressed in fake bishop vestments and paid to endorse the unveiling of Asiwaju Tinubu’s widely rejected running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.”
He said the APC presidential candidate had lost the basic required leadership integrity and should not bother contesting.
Shocking revelation: Did APC hire bishops, priests to unveiling of Shettima as Tinubu's running mate?
The controversy over the alleged hiring of bishops and priests by the All Progressives Congress, APC, has continued to spread across the country.
Recall that images of bishops and priests had emerged on social media showing that some bishops and priests attended the unveiling ceremony despite the controversy surrounding the resolve of the APC and its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to go for a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
Tinubu had announced a former Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima as his running mate.
