Key Highlights
- ADC chieftain Eze Chukwuemeka Eze told Tinubu to stop focusing his campaign on Atiku and Amaechi.
- He urged the President to defend his record in office instead.
- Eze described Adams Oshiomhole as a comedian who failed to provide good governance in Edo State.
- He said the APC’s attacks show the political strength of the ADC ticket.
Eze said he is not surprised that Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have made Atiku and Amaechi the centrepiece of their campaigns.
In a statement on Wednesday, the ADC chieftain said, rather than defend his abysmal tenure in office, the president has continued to launch blistering attacks on Atiku and Amaechi.
“We are not surprised at all. Tinubu and APC have made Atiku and Amaechi the centrepoint of their campaign.
“Instead of facing Nigerians and defending his lacklustre performance as president, Tinubu’s preoccupation at his campaign is reeling out falsehoods, propaganda and relying on blackmail to score cheap political goals against the strong, united, visionary and formidable ADC presidential candidates.
“Leave Atiku and Amaechi alone. If you can’t defend your abysmal and disastrous tenure as president, then resign from the presidential ticket fraudulently handed to you by your anti-people party,” Eze said, mocking Tinubu’s campaign office.
Eze Fires at Oshiomhole
Similarly, he blasted Senator Adams Oshiomhole, calling him a comedian who is opportune to see himself in the corridors of power, but failed to provide purposeful leadership and good governance in Edo State.
He expressed happiness that campaign propaganda against Atiku and Amaechi by Tinubu’s attack dogs goes to show their political strength and popularity.
Eze asserted that Tinubu is aware that Atiku and Amaechi are a political force to reckon with, and that explains the reason every campaign message of the APC focuses on disparaging and blackmailing the ADC presidential hopefuls.

“Rallies are used for political parties to showcase what they have done or achieved and what they intend to do if elected.
“Instead of addressing how APC and Tinubu have messed up and impoverished Nigerians in their four years of obnoxious rule, render apologies and suggest ways they are going to ameliorate the suffering and hunger they have placed on Nigerians, they are busy castigating political leaders that have set themselves out to rescue Nigeria.
“Oshiomhole should learn how to speak in public, particularly during campaigns. He should stop showcasing his poor level of education and be educated on how to talk in campaign rallies,” he said.
The ADC chieftain expressed sadness that Tinubu and the APC have no sound message to present to Nigerians, except showcasing their ineptitude in governance, characterised by failed policies, corruption, banditry and nepotism.
