Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Saturday night threw a bomb on the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, challenging him to sit down for an hour long interview in the way that he, Atiku did with the crew of Arise Television.

Rebuffing the attack on him from the Tinubu Campaign Organisation following the trending interview, Atiku while debunking the claims against him point by point went on to express his amusement that Tinubu who he said cannot sit down for an interview would dare speak.

The media had extensively quoted the Tinubu Campaign of accusing Atiku of lies in his live interview on the television station.

But responding through his media aide, Paul Ibe, Atiku said: “Amusement, because we expected this. Mr. Tinubu has not sat down to do any prolonged interview for obvious reasons. Nigerians have seen him talk in public and can themselves gauge the reason why he is mortified to do so.

“We would like to challenge Bola Tinubu to subject himself to an hour long interview, like the Waziri did, and if he is able to be as articulate and mentally present as our candidate, then he can talk. Until then, we will only want to remind him and his yes men that they are not in a position to point fingers when they have not sat on the hot seat.”

The Atiku response was also used to shade Tinubu over claims that he forgot the name of his party when he reportedly called the party Action Congress, and also shade controversies over the APC candidate’s educational qualification.

As Atiku said: “The rude response also accuses Waziri Atiku Abubakar of having “limited education”. Atiku Abubakar has an earned Masters degree from Anglia Ruskin University. 

“We challenge any of the present Presidential candidates to present an equal or higher degree. Moreover, his university attendance is a matter of verified record. Can we say the same about some other persons?”
