The camp of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to face Nigerians at the ballot and not hide behind Ebola.
Atiku’s senior media aide, Phrank Shuaibu, made the call in a statement on Wednesday while reacting to the current political situation in the country.
The camp said President Tinubu should stop hiding behind excuses and face Nigerians at the ballot box to test his popularity.
According to the camp, Nigerians are tired and suffering, stating that the only way to know if the President is still loved by the people is to face them at the ballot.
“Tinubu must face Nigerians at the ballot box, not hide behind Ebola,” the statement said.
It added that hiding behind Ebola or any other excuse will not save the administration from the judgement of Nigerians who are feeling the hardship in the country.
The camp further stated that democracy thrives when leaders submit themselves to the will of the people through the ballot, not through excuses.
At the time of filing this report, the Presidency has yet to react to the statement.
