“It is not a surprise that Tinubu would castigate a man who defended the rule of law. A man who is running from the law on many fronts cannot see merit in defending the rule of law.”

Bola Tinubu is a crafty betrayer of trust, “a man who is running from the law on many fronts” who should never be trusted with power in Aso Rock, the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential (PDP) has against warned Nigerians.
The PDP Presidential Campaign Committee (PCC) reminded voters in reaction to the comment of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) about PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar at the weekend.
Tinubu questioned Atiku’s integrity in Warri at the inauguration of the Delta APC Governorship Campaign, saying Atiku publicly fought former President Olusegun Obasanjo when he was his Vice President from 1999 to 2007.
“When Atiku was there, he was fighting his boss in public. They were telling us how they spent PTF money to buy cars for their girlfriends. Do they have shame?” Tinubu asked the mammoth crowd in Warri.
PDP Campaign Committee spokesman Dino Melaye has fired back in a statement in which he described the former Lagos Governor as a betrayer who should not be trusted.
“In a fit of temporary coherence, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress, in Delta State, as usual departed from issues and devoted his limited attention to … Atiku Abubakar who must be giving him nightmares on the 2023 presidential election,” Melaye said.
“According to the APC presidential candidate, Atiku ‘fought’ Obasanjo while in office. We owe him deep gratitude that Tinubu recalled this fine attribute of Atiku Abubakar, who while he served as the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria defended the Constitution and deepened Nigeria’s democracy.”

History of Tinubu’s betrayals
“It is not a surprise that Tinubu would castigate a man who defended the rule of law. A man who is running from the law on many fronts cannot see merit in defending the rule of law,” Melaye added, per reporting by The PUNCH.
“It is to Atiku’s eternal credit that he stood firm in pursuit of his conviction that the loyalty of public officers is to the Constitution and not to individuals.
“This position will definitely be at variance with the disposition of a man of tyrannical antecedents like Tinubu, who in exhibition of undemocratic tendencies fought his female Deputy Governor, Mrs Kofo Akereke-Bucknor, until she was removed from office.
“The treatment he gave to Mr Femi Pedro was not any better. Why then did he focus on the jot in someone’s eyes while overlooking the log on his own?”
“The removal of Tinubu’s first Deputy Governor from office was a gross betrayal of Afenifere, who had nominated the former Deputy Governor as part of the group’s understanding for supporting Tinubu’s election as Governor of Lagos State.
“This conduct is proof that Tinubu cannot be trusted with power.”
