Controversies As APC Shares Picture of Atiku Being Helped To Walk to Podium.

Mixed reactions have trailed the picture of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), being held to walk to the podium. The picture was shared by Bayo Onanuga, the director of media and publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council on his Twitter page on Monday, January 16.

While sharing the picture, Onanuga wrote:

“Atiku Abubakar being gingerly helped to the podium in Kogi. When we said he should speak on his health, his attack dogs barked to the highest decibel.” 

However, the post was welcomed with some controversial comments on his page.

A Nigerian with a Twitter handle, @abiri_olubunmi, asked the campaign council to respond to the recent comment by Pastor Tunde Bakare, a one-time presidential aspirant under the APC.

She writes:

“I hope you can respond to this message by Pastor Bakare and campaign based on issues instead of attacking the health of a candidate, these old men are the real problem of Nigeria.” 

Grattis Chima claimed that:

“There’s no polling booth on social media, yet you had to sponsor a tweet. Make una dey play, e go soon clear everybody.”
