The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has disclosed that his counterpart in the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar who is a Muslim lobbied to be the running mate of Late Moshood Abiola Olawale, the presidential candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1993 election.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed by Tinubu while slamming the former vice-president, Atiku for\u00a0allegedly stoking religious bias in a bid to win the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said the former vice president was a hypocrite for using the issue of a Muslim-Muslim ticket as a political strategy, adding that Atiku was exhibiting traits of desperation by stoking religious bias on national television to win the election.<\/p>\n

The former Lagos State governor stated this in a statement by his media officer, Tunde Rahman, while reacting to claims by Atiku during an interview with Arise News on Friday that he dropped Tinubu as a running mate while running for president in 2007 because they were both Muslims.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtiku has no business raising the issue of a Muslim-Muslim ticket except as a hypocrite. Perhaps he believes people have forgotten his antics during the 1993 election. After he woefully lost his bid to be the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, what did he do? He canvassed and lobbied harder than anyone to become the running mate to late Chief MKO Abiola<\/a>. When it benefitted him personally, Atiku did not see anything wrong with a Muslim-Muslim ticket. He saw everything right in such a ticket as long as he was on it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are saddened to see such a man become unhinged from the truth. So obsessed is he with his quest for office, Atiku is willing to render any form of untruth if he thinks it might gain him a single vote. Atiku may want to be President. However, all he has shown is that he is pathological.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel sorry for dear old Atiku. Love of his own ambition has eclipsed his relationship with the truth and an honest account of the past. We formed the AC without his knowledge. When (former) President (Olusegun) Obasanjo virtually exiled him from the PDP<\/a>, we lent him our support by giving him the Action Congress platform for the 2007 election,\u201d the statement quoted the former Lagos governor as saying.<\/p>\n

Tinubu further described Atiku as a man with a \u201cpaucity of character and love of intrigue\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me say openly that Atiku offered me the vice presidential ticket in 2007. Let me also say that my religion has not changed. When he offered the position to me, I was a Muslim and I believe he was aware of my religious faith at the time. Atiku\u2019s calculations and deceit had nothing to do with religion or his sensitivity to it. His conduct has everything to do with what we discovered about his paucity of character and love of intrigue.<\/p>\n

The APC national leader reiterated that he arrived at the choice of a former governor of Borno State<\/a>, Senator Kashim Shettima, after weighing his options and due consultations with stakeholders of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll my life, the decisions regarding the team supporting me have always been guided by the principles of competence, innovation, compassion, integrity, fairness, and adherence to excellence. I was not going to depart from these principles at this important juncture. In fact, it was more important than ever before that I adhere to these principles,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
