The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the choice of former Lagos State attorney-general and commissioner for justice, Prof Yemi Osibajo (SAN) as running mate to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as “belated”.
The ruling party added that the fact that it took Buhari six days to announce his running mate showed his incompetence.
According to the PDP, the eventual choice of Osinbajo was a confirmation of its stand that the APC was the personal project of a cabal commanded by former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu, to expand its political and economic frontiers.
A statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Olisa Metuh, yesterday, said: “Should power get to this cabal, who is desperate to control the political and economic power centre of the nation, then Nigeria is finished.”
“By the choice of Osibajo, a well-known acolyte of Tinubu, who served under him as attorney-general and commissioner for justice, the APC, General Buhari and Tinubu have boldly recreated their well-known notoriety for sectional and personal interests.
“It is particularly worrisome that General Buhari has surrendered his first official responsibility of choosing a running mate, invariably his powers, to Tinubu even before he goes to the field to ask for votes”, he stated.
