The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu are not smart.
The Governor of Delta State,who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today,said making Masari a placeholder showed that APC was not organized and not ready for election.
In his words:“You can find that the APC is finding it difficult to get who would be their vice presidential candidate, we are hearing something we have not heard before, somebody on placement to be replaced.
This means they are not smart,hence the believe that they are not even ready for the election, there seems to be a lot of confusion in the APC, unlike us, right from day one, we‘ve made our decision and I believe we‘re on the right path.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had set a date for the submission of presidential running mates.
Ahead of the date, Tinubu submitted Masari’s name as his running mate in the capacity of a placeholder.
But, the spokesman of the APC presidential candidate, Tunde Rahman had insisted that his principal submitted Masari’s name as his running mate.
He, however, disclosed that Tinubu is consulting with President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC leadership, and Masari over a final decision on the issue of his running mate.
Rahman said Masari may step down in the interest of the party.
