I pity your hypocrisy, Atiku replies Oshiomhole
By Ishaya Ibrahim
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has responded to Senator Adams Oshiomhole for claiming that he is consumed by politics.
Responding via his media aide, Paul Ibe, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election said he feels pity for Oshiomhole over what he described as the hypocrisy of the former Edo Governor.
He said: “I have sympathy for Oshiomhole. He is tailoring sycophancy with a designer touch and has allowed himself to be consumed by the hate and fear of Atiku.”
Oshiomhole, who represents Edo North in the Senate, had accused Atiku of being consumed by politics in his criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s recent condolence visit to Plateau State.
Oshiomhole, who spoke on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, said Atiku was politicising a matter that should command empathy and respect for the dead.
“I have sympathy for former Vice President Atiku for thinking that even in matters of death and honouring the dead, politics must be involved. As an elder statesman, at his age, he should know better.”
