Rev. Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, a well-known Catholic priest, responded to the viral videos of Atiku Abubakar and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the candidates for president of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress, respectively.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Tinubu posted a short video of himself on an exercise bike on Sunday evening to debunk rumours making the rounds that he is very sick.
Similarly, a motion picture of Atiku, which captured him dancing to a song by a Nigerian artist, also went viral on Sunday.
Fr. Kelvin, a missionary priest working outside of the country, responded by writing on his verified Facebook page that the videos revealed the two candidates’ flaws.
He wrote, “I never knew Atiku is this old. I never knew Tinubu is this sick. The dance video exposed Atiku as one who is really old and frail.
“The cycling video exposed Tinubu as one who is so sick and in need of validation with any video, even if it is an old video.
“The big problem with both of them is greed. The biggest problem with both of them is that those around them are more greedy. They successfully surrounded themselves with sycophants and parasites than true and genuine lovers who would tell them the truth to their faces.
“The joy is that we have an alternative. For a long time now, there has never been the third force in our elections, we have not had the privilege of having the man in the middle”.
