Big men things: Atiku throws huge challenge to Bola Tinubu ahead of 2023 presidential election
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has challenged Tinubu.
The challenge thrown to Tinubu by Atiku followed the former's reaction to some of the claims by the PDP's 2023 presidential candidate during a recorded interview with Arise Television on Friday, July 22.
In a statement sent to Legit.ng and signed by Atiku's media adviser, Paul Ibe, the PDP presidential candidate he doubts Tinubu would be able to be as articulate and mentally present as he (Atiku) did during his interview.
He added that until Tinubu did that, then they can have proper discussions on the same wavelength.
His words:
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."
