Tinubu Calls For Atiku’s Disqualification, Says PDP Candidate Made His Money Through Smuggling

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has called for disqualification of his PDP counterpart, Atiku Abubakar from 2023 race.

Tinubu made this on Thursday in Edo State while speaking at the APC Presidential Campaign rally held at the University of Benin Sports Complex, Ugbowo Campus, Benin.

He said Atiku was not qualified to be President of Nigeria having indicted himself on his record as a civil servant.

His words: “Atiku and Obasanjo accused themselves of using Nigeria’s money to buy cars for their comfort. Atiku was a custom officer who said he made money selling cars, that is smuggling. He didn’t even know that a civil servant cannot do any other business apart from agriculture. That is enough to disqualify him and he is not fit to be President.”

On his plan for the economy and Edo people, Tinubu said it was time to eliminate darkness and make the economy of the country productive through massive industrialisation, promising to make Edo state a hub of industrial activities and an energy state.

APC Presidential Candidate applauded the return of Benin artefacts by some Western nations but urged the countries to pay some money to Edo State having made huge money from the returned artefacts through tourism and exhibitions.
