The statement read thus:
"Our attention has been drawn to the irresponsible and infantile allegation by Atiku Abubakar’s Peoples Democratic Party, claiming that our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is mopping up new naira notes to buy votes.
"The allegation is simply ludicrous, spurious and a desperate attempt to divert public attention from the anti-people posturing of the PDP candidate, after he and Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi asked the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] not to extend the deadline for the use of old naira notes."
PDP lied, APC campaign claims
"We want to assure Nigerians that claim is utterly false.
"Our candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, being always the voice of the voiceless and champion of the underprivileged, at numerous rallies and campaign stops, identified with our people and boldly called on CBN to extend the deadline and end the public suffering."
2023 presidency: Peter Obi will not win election, Powerful chieftain gives strong reason
A spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu, has taken a swipe against the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
According to him, Obi's supporters cannot downplay the importance of a political structure.
“We shall see in the next one week what will happen. The polls will not help Obi. If they like, let one million say Obi is going to win,” Momodu added.
Fresh statistics that will work against Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso have been revealed
Legit.ng earlier reported that Babatunde Fashola, the minister of works and housing, has expressed confidence that Bola Tinubu of the APC will win the 2023 presidential election.
The former governor of Lagos state disclosed that Tinubu would defeat PDP's Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party's Peter Obi and NNPP's Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Fashola explained that Atiku, Kwankwaso and Obi were one when the APC defeated PDP in 2019, asking how any of them would defeat the ruling party after being divided into three.
