2023 Election: How APC Silenced PDP’s Rally In Lagos with Tinubu’s Address At Chatham House
- The PDP presidential rally in Lagos should have raised some dust in the 2023 election campaigns but was watered down by Bola Tinubu's address at Chatham House in London
- The media were paying attention to punchlines from the PDP Lagos rally until the Chatham House conversation with Tinubu started
- The PDP presidential campaign council spokespersons also failed to drop punchlines for the media to promote the party's candidate as they jumped on criticising Tinubu's outing
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) strategically silenced the noise that would have shocked the media from the backyard of its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) fixed its Lagos rally on Monday, December 5. Lagos is considered the stronghold of the APC, particularly Tinubu.

The PDP rally would have dominated the media space, considering the state it was held, probably with the crowd, comments, analysis, and people’s reactions.

Some of them are listed below:
Dele Momodu

Daniel Bwala
The PDP presidential campaign council spokesperson took to his Twitter page on Monday night to describe Tinubu’s outing at Chatham House as a show of shame.
According to him:
“To be fit to be the president, you must think on your feet, exercise independent thought and expression. Be able to respond to any issue or question and finally must be able to make sound judgment calls”

Kola Ologbondiyan
Kola Ologbondiyan, the spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign council and immediate national publicity secretary of the PDP, also have his share of the Tinubu trend.
