APC Council Criticizes Atiku for Informal Address of Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council issued a statement expressing concern over former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's choice to address President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as "Bola." Dele Alake, the spokesperson for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, described this as a "self-imposed indiscretion" and a sign of disrespect for the Office of the President. Alake highlighted that a higher standard of decorum is expected from Atiku, who is the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The council accused Atiku of compromising the statesmanship expected of him due to political animosity and ambition. Despite this, the APC has instructed its leaders and members to show Atiku the courtesy due to his status as a former high-ranking national officer.

Alake reaffirmed the APC's commitment to progressive ideals and stated that the campaign would focus on issues important to Nigerians, including President Tinubu's achievements and the administration's goals for the future.
