2023: Atiku, Okowa Campaign Punctures, Dismisses Fitch Report on Tinubu

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization has dismissed as speculative a report credited to Fitch Ratings allegedly peddled by the Tinubu Campaign Organization conjecturing an unsupported direction for the 2023 Presidential election.

The organisation said that from all analyses, the said report is merely contrived, imaginary and completely illusory and a trivial opinion of ignorant interlopers which does not conform with any empirical or substantiated indicators regarding the direction of the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria.

A statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, the spokesperson for the organisation said that while the Atiku/Okowa team do not want to conclude on the opinion already widely held in the public space that the report was procured or not emanating officially from Fitch, it is, however, important to state that these conjectures are the direct opposite of the reality on the ground.

Ologbondiyan stated that the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, has no electoral fighting chance before his PDP colleague, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa.

He added that contrary to the report being peddled by the APC, Tinubu is battling with trust issues, stamina concerns, massive open rejection by the majority of voters across the country, a mass exodus from his APC into PDP due to the abysmal failures of his party in addition to his self-confessed selfish motives for being in the presidential race.

His words: 

"In reality, unlike Atiku Abubakar, Asiwaju Tinubu has no strong, organic and reliable political base anywhere in the country and cannot get the required 25 per cent in the majority of the States of the federation.
"Across the north, the APC Presidential Candidate does not have a stable political structure with the daily decamping of hordes of Nigerians in the region who voted for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019 now crossing over to the PDP to support Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections.

"In the south, Asiwaju Tinubu has no solid base in the South South and South East where he has been roundly rejected.  Even in the South West, the former Lagos State governor has been demystified as evidenced in his party's devastating loss in the last Governorship election in Osun State; a state considered to be his ancestry home, to the PDP."

Ologbondiyan also added that Tinubu has been booed in states of the South West and he has lost his political allies, cultural institutions and foot soldiers in Lagos state and other parts of the South West because of his selfish posturing and trust issues.

He said:

"Moreover, the APC Presidential Candidate has not demonstrated the desired capacity, experience, stamina as well as selfless disposition to lead a nation like Nigeria.
"The reality of the 2023 Presidential elections is that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar has the highest organic followership cutting across all demographics like age, class, ethnic, sectional and even political affiliations in the country as Nigerians believe in his proven capacity, competence, experience, readiness and will power to lead our nation at this point.
