What APC said about Atiku being held to walk to podium

While sharing the picture, Onanuga wrote:

"Atiku Abubakar being gingerly helped to the podium in Kogi. When we said he should speak on his health, his attack dogs barked to the highest decibel."

However, the post was welcomed with some controversial comments on his page.

See the comments below:

A Nigerian with a Twitter handle, @abiri_olubunmi, asked the campaign council to respond to the recent comment by Pastor Tunde Bakare, a one-time presidential aspirant under the APC.

She writes:

"I hope you can respond to this message by Pastor Bakare and campaign based on issues instead of attacking the health of a candidate, these old men are the real problem of Nigeria."

Another netizen with the handle @EOlutimehin said:

"You haven't mustered d courage to tell your principal Tinubu to speak on his own health & other controversial issues surrounding him, but u are here calling Atiku; I thought charity begins from home? Pls remove d beam in your eyes first, so u can clearly see d specks in others"
