Our Party Will Focus On Issues – Tinubu

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress has informed the main opposition party, PDP that he and the party will be more focused on issues rather than trading insults.

This was contained in a statement released on Monday by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga.

Onanuga added that the PDP descended into the pit of hatred because Tinubu reminded the party of its 16 years which left a mess for the APC government.

Tinubu, during the weekend, had called on the APC members not to hurl abuses at the PDP because the rival party which is saddled with a leadership crisis has no place in Nigeria’s future.

The PDP, in its response, described the APC as a “dead” party while it was strong, united and focused on its mission to rescue, rebuild and redirect the nation from the APC misrule.
