National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday declared that Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was unfit for the position he was currently seeking to occupy<\/p>\n

Tinubu, who is the co-chairman of the APC presidential campaign council made the remark while responding to Abubakar\u2019s state of the nation address on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n

In a statement he personally signed, the former governor of Lagos State alleged that Abubakar indicted himself over his stance on the suspension of Onnoghen.<\/p>\n

According to Tinubu: \u201cThe PDP\u2019s presidential candidate, former Vice President Atiku, recently made comments regarding suspension of CJN Onnoghen. Atiku\u2019s release is entitled \u201cState of the nation address\u201d. I encourage everyone to read it. In its disregard for the truth and patent misrepresentations, it will go down in political history as a classic of self-incrimination. Atiku thinks the piece exalts him. Instead it evinces his penchant for wilful misstatement that make him unfit for the office he now seeks and has always coveted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the statement, he claims to have dedicated all his life to the defense of democracy. Those of you who know him, and even those who don\u2019t, know this is not true. If all of his life has been dedicated to support for democracy, then he is far too young to run for president; however, I must congratulate him for having somehow managed to find or begin a second life. This rebirth as a defender of democracy must have taken place only a few short hours ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis previous life of over seventy years was one of skirting democracy and of blatant impunity in attempting to enshrine reactionary government and installing an unjust political economy on the backs of the people.<\/p>\n
