The spokesperson of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Paul Ibe has advised the All Progressives Congress, APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu to focus more on explaining to the Nigerian electorates why they should vote again for the APC after the party has failed for more than 7 years to deliver on its promises to Nigerians.

Ibe was reacting to Tinubu's remarks at a rally in Gbaramatu, Delta state, asking Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the PDP, to stop running.
Speaking on phone with TheCable on Saturday, Ibe said, “Let me tell you what Atiku Abubakar is not running to. He is not running to drug trafficking and money laundering; he is not running to forgery; he is not running to perjury; he is not running to a shady past.”
“He is running to make life much better for Nigerians. He is running to use his experience to lift Nigeria out of the mess of more than seven years that was created by a clueless government fostered by a man like Tinubu.
“He is running to use his experience as a former vice-president and in the private sector to change things around, to restructure the country, to unify the country, to give Nigerians an opportunity to recover.
“He should focus on telling Nigerians his vision for Nigeria; that’s what he needs to do. He needs to convince Nigerians why they should settle for a party that purportedly was going to bring change but brought a change that decimated the economy, that divided them more than ever before. He should focus on convincing Nigerians after all they have done,” Ibe stated.

Tinubu said, “One says he is Atiku. How many times has he been running? He’s always on the run. He is never tired of running. Tell him to go and sit down.”
Tinubu also claimed that the other presidential candidate lies with statistics and arithmetic, saying, “No Indian can solve it. To mention his name is a disgrace to me.”
He further said that the particular candidate gives wrong statistics and arithmetics of the economy, adding that
the Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom needs a man who knows the road, and, “That’s me,” Tinubu stated.
