Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, will launch his 2023 Presidential Campaign Council today in Abuja, but Tinubu and Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, have delayed the launch of their campaign councils.

In a series of tweets, the legislator, who is running for reelection on the APC platform, defended their backing of the former governor of Lagos State.

He claimed that we (Tinubu’s supporters) are backing a candidate who possesses political shrewdness and leadership qualities, as well as verifiable antecedents and past performance.

The tweets read, “Today, we begin the journey to send our principal, Asiwaju @officialABAT to the Villa as Nigeria’s President. We have no doubt we are presenting the most qualified Nigerian to lead at this time.

“We are supporting the man with leadership and political sagacity with antecedent and track records that can be verified.

“You will be insulted and vilified for sticking to your principles. Be ready for them. Preach the gospel to them. If they don’t listen, let them wallow in their ignorance and callowness.

“Lastly, never succumb to bullies. We know the bullies are ready. We are more than ready for them as well.”
