Tambuwal alleges APC masterminds ‘fake news’ PDP suspended campaign
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal has labelled the All Progressives Congress (APC) a “fake news” factory for lying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had suspended its campaign, and for allegedly masterminding disruption of its rally when it held.
He made the allegations on the stump in Kaduna, which were amplified by PDP National Chairman Iyorchia Ayu, who disclosed the party uncovered a plot to disrupt the rally but it was scuttled by the masses who have the PDP in their DNA.
“Some people said PDP has suspended its rallies in Nigeria, we issued a statement that, it was fake news manufactured from the fake news laboratory of the APC and we are here in Kaduna today,” said Tambuwal, who doubles as PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Director General.
“We have also just witnessed another effort to throw spanners in our works, they will fail and they have failed, and they will continue to fail by the grace of God.
“They do not want us to continue because they are not prepared, they have not even constituted their presidential campaign council, not to talk of flagging off their campaign because of infighting. They are busy fighting themselves.
“We are here in Kaduna, the political capital of Northern Nigeria, and we are indeed very happy to be here.
“I believe the people of Kaduna have seen and have felt the negative impact of the APC administration in Nigeria, all the textile industries in Nigeria have closed down, and all manufacturing concerns in Kaduna are out of business.
“When Atiku [Abubakar] is elected by the grace of God, we shall bring back all the factories and manufacturing in Nigeria.
“Part of the agenda of the Atiku and PDP is growing the economy and you can only grow the economy when you grow the production sector and manufacturing.
“Atiku Abubakar administration will ensure that by the grace of God we will reinvigorate and reestablish our industries for economic growth and for jobs to be created for the people to have what to do.
“So people of Kaduna come out en masse and vote for Atiku Abubakar.”

PDP in Kaduna’s DNA, Ayu boasts
Ayu alleged the fracas that broke out at the rally, orchestrated by hired tugs, was a manifestation of the plot by the APC to ensure the event did not hold, per reporting by Vanguard.
“They wanted to stop this rally, to disrupt us, but they could not do it, PDP is in your DNA.
“Whether they give you the venue for the rally or not, even if it is on the road we shall gather and we shall win,” Ayu told the crowd.
“The APC has failed, they have failed woefully and they do not want us to take over and reconstruct this country. We are going to rescue this country whether they like it or not because the party is in the heart.
“The party is not on the street, anything they do, resist it, make sure you organise. In the last election, PDP got the highest vote in Kaduna State, in 2023 we are going to double the votes we got in 2019.
“Let nobody deceive himself by distracting you that we are going to lose, they have been doing everything to show that this party is divided, but we are united.
“We are a united political party, we are going to win all our five elections. House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship and above all we are moving to the Villa.
“Carry your PVC [Permanent Voter Card] and make sure that Atiku wins everywhere.”
