2023: Why Tinubu Doubts APC’s Support – Abati

Former special adviser to Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity, Reuben Abati, has said that Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer for the 2023 election, is having doubts about the backing of the ruling party.

The Eagle reports that Abati, a broadcaster with Arise Television, was reacting to the APC candidate’s sabotage claims regarding the petrol scarcity and Naira redesign.

“The first indication that that throws across is that the candidate himself has doubts about the support of his own party. Because he was saying ‘fuel scarcity, if they like, let them not give you fuel, if they like, let them change Naira design’, policies of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“This was a case of the presidential candidate of the APC criticising the Chairman and leader of his own party.

“And he told his audience, ‘they want to scuttle this election, will you allow them?’

“It is the APC that is in possession, right at this moment, of all the cohesive instruments of states.

“We seemed to have reached a point where the ruling government is criticizing itself,” Abati said on ‘The Morning Show’ recently.
