“It is obvious that the President, Muhammadu Buhari and many senior APC chieftains are palpably embarrassed about the quality of their presidential campaigns, which has been extremely lacklustre.
“Their candidate has failed miserably to even sell his own manifesto. It has been one gaffe after the other."

Tinubu has become content for skit makers

Momodu noted that Buhari was able to defend himself when he was accused of some shortcomings in the past, but in Tinubu's case, he and his team have resorted only to bullying the opposition and the media, This Day added.

He disclosed that the first disturbing sign that all was not well in the APC was when Buhari handed the party flag to Tinubu without saying a word.

“Not even chief Asiwaju’s ally and former attorney-general of Lagos state, Vice-President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has been seen standing next to him to defend his policies and personal character and attributes,” Momodu stated.

“Balablu, Blu, Bulaba, Blu,” other gaffes by Tinubu

If there is any presidential candidate who has made the most gaffes ahead of the 2023 elections, it would be Bola Tinubu.

Balablu, Blu, Bulaba, Blu is one of the many gaffes that the presidential hopeful made in Imo. He was suspected to have pronounced the word in place of hullabaloo.

At another out, he was heard saying “God bless PD… APC”, and asking youths to get their APV, while referring to permanent voter cards (PVCs), to vote for his party.
