‘Even witches and wizards are comfortable with Atiku’ – Dino Melaye replies Oshiomhole
Spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign council, Dino Melaye has said everyone in Nigeria, even the witches and wizards know the strength of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
Melaye was speaking on Channels Television in a response to Adams Oshiomhole who described Atiku as the weakest of all major presidential candidates for the 2023 election.
On Wednesday, the former Edo governor said the PDP flagbearer is a “serial betrayer of agreements” who is not trusted by his party leaders, including the five aggrieved governors of the PDP.
Responding, Melaye said Oshomhole is “taking Panadol” over PDP’s crisis instead of focusing on the controversies surrounding Bola Tinubu, the APC flagbearer.
“Instead of Oshiomhole to talk about what they can do as a government. He was dabbling into domestic issues. He was talking as if he was quoting the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
“Look at it, Atiku is the most trusted presidential candidate of all the 18 presidential candidates in the 2023 elections.
“The west are comfortable with Atiku, the southerners are comfortable with him, Hausa, Fulani, and Ijaw are comfortable with Atiku Abubakar. Everybody is comfortable with Atiku Abubakar.
“Even witches and wizards cannot accuse him of being a religious bigot or ethnic jingoist. Everyone in this country knows Atiku Abubakar.
“During his quest to get the ticket of the PDP, he went to every part of this country and he was welcomed. Atiku is the only presidential candidate who got votes from every zone of this country.
“Tinubu did not even visit the south-east. He did not go to any of the states in the south-east when he was going around to seek the ticket of the party.
“Go to the core north and say Tinubu, nobody knows who Tinubu is. Go to the south-east, go to Umuneri, Aguleri and Nnewi, they don’t know who Tinubu is.”
