APC Campaign Council Criticizes Atiku for Disrespecting Tinubu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has responded to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), for addressing President Bola Tinubu by his first name, "Bola." The council accused Atiku of allowing rivalry to influence his public conduct and disrespecting the Office of the President. In a statement signed by Dele Alake, the spokesperson and head of the communications team, the council expressed concern that Atiku's actions did not meet the expected standards of decorum from a former Vice President and presidential aspirant.

The APC Campaign Council directed its leaders, spokespersons, members, and support groups to accord Atiku the respect due to his position, despite his failure to show the same respect to President Tinubu. The council reaffirmed its commitment to progressive ideals and traditional values of respect, stating that it would not emulate Atiku's approach.
