"Based on my tweet yesterday, I bring you the headlines of @THISDAYLIVE (its newspaper) today. The gaffe of Atiku in JOS when he said (AP-PDP) has no mention at all. It is the same venue where @officialABAT slip of tongue was made a subject of TWO front page stories on 16/11/2022"

'I don't blame PDP for criticizing APC Muslim-Muslim ticket', FFK makes surprise disclosure, gives reason
Legit.ng earlier reported that Femi Fami-Kayode, one of the spokespersons of the APC presidential campaign council, has disclosed that he would have done more than the PDP if he was not in APC.
The APC chieftain made the disclosure while picking holes in the manner in which the PDP is criticising the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the ruling party.
FFK added that many APC members have now come to realise that they have to defend the Muslim-Muslim ticket because if the party lose, religion would not matter.
