The Presidential Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu knows he would lose in the 2023 election.
The campaign said Tinubu is looking for who to blame and it would not stop him from losing.
Citing the lingering fuel crisis and the concerns among Nigerians over the redesign of the naira, Tinubu had said there was a plan to sabotage his chances at winning in the coming election.
Following backlash received over the statement, the Director, Media and Publicity of APC PCC, Bayo Onanuga, dismissed the notion that the comment of the ruling party’s candidate was targeted at the regime of the President, Muhammadu Buhari.

Onanuga, in a statement, said Tinubu was only directing the government’s attention to the sabotage being carried out by “some fifth columnists in the system, possibly working in cahoots with the PDP”.
But speaking with Punch, a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, said “Bayo Onanuga should look for someone else to blame.
“Nigerians were the ones who listened to Tinubu. They were the ones who made meaning out of what he said.
“Nobody misunderstood him. It is damage control but it is obvious that because they have lost the election, they are looking for whom to accuse.”
