Choice of Buhari’s running mate belated –PDP



The PDP   has described the announcement of   Osinbajo   as Buhari’s running mate   as belated.

It also described the choice of Osinbajo as a confirmation of its stand that the APC was the personal project of a cabal commanded by   Tinubu.

The PDP, through its   National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said, “should power get to this cabal, who is desperate to control the political and economic power centre of the nation, then Nigeria is finished.

“By the choice of Osinbajo, a well-known acolyte of Tinubu, who served under him as Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, the APC, Buhari and Tinubu have boldly recreated their well-known sectional and personal interests.

“It is particularly worrisome that Buhari has surrendered his first official responsibility of choosing a running mate. He has invariably surrendered his powers to Tinubu even before he goes to the field to ask for votes.

“This is not surprising of Buhari, who has consistently exhibited a track record of incompetence. This is the same man who as military head of state surrendered all his powers to his second in command.”
