YOU CAN'T CALL FOR HEALING AFTER SENDING THUGS TO ATTACK IGBOS – ATIKU TELLS TINUBU, INSISTS ON ARREST OF MC OLUOMO 

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has dismissed Bola Tinubu’s call for healing after the elections as the height of hypocrisy. 

Tinubu had, in a statement, said he was saddened by the infractions in some states and the divisive rhetoric that characterised the polls.

Atiku’s special assistant on public communication, Phrank Shaibu, in a statement on Tuesday, March 21, however, described Tinubu’s statement as an after-thought and hypocritical garbage.

Shaibu said Tinubu had continued to protect transport hooligans, politicians and even traditional leaders in Lagos who were seen on video threatening non-indigenes. 

The statement partly read: “Tinubu’s latest statement is laced with hypocrisy and lies. For a month, traditional leaders, transport hooligans and politicians in his camp threatened non-indigenes, but Tinubu kept mute.

“His lackey, MC Oluomo, a member of his Presidential campaign council, was seen on video threatening Igbo people, but Tinubu said nothing. 

“His campaign spokesmen, Bayo Onanuga and Femi Fani-Kayode, went on social media to warn Igbo people against exercising their franchise, but Tinubu looked the other way.

“On the day of the election, many people who looked Igbo were beaten and prevented from voting, but Tinubu kept mute. Now that his party has stolen the election, he has found his voice and is preaching reconciliation. He should tell that to the marines.

“If Tinubu is serious, he should ensure that all those found guilty are arrested and prosecuted. But we know he cannot do this because he is their godfather.”
