Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions to the photo of where Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, was being held to walk to the podium
Bayo Onanuga, the media director of the APC presidential campaign council, took to his social media to share the picture while calling for health details of Atiku
Reacting to the picture, some Nigerians are of the view that it is no difference between Atiku and the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
Mixed reactions have trailed the picture of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), being held to walk to the podium.
The picture was shared by Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council on his Twitter page on Monday, January 16.
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”
Grattis Chima claimed that:
“There’s no polling booth on social media, yet you had to sponsor a tweet. Make una dey play, e go soon clear everybody.”
Joe on his part said:
“Yeye de smell PDAPC are birds of the same feather”
Adesina Haruna shared another video of Atiku being held to walk down the stairs at a PDP rally. He said:
“Being helped down the steps.”
