The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has raised concerns over former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's decision to publicly address President Bola Tinubu using his first name, "Bola." The campaign council described Atiku's action as a "self-imposed indiscretion" and disrespect for the Office of the President.
In a press statement, the council's spokesperson, Dele Alake, emphasized that a former Vice President and presidential aspirant is expected to adhere to a higher standard of decorum, decency, and deference to constituted authorities. Alake further stated that Atiku's conduct has been compromised by political animosity and unbridled ambition, and that it sets a poor example for the younger generation of political actors.
Despite Atiku's conduct, the APC Presidential Campaign Council has directed all party members to continue showing the former Vice President the respect and courtesy due to his status. Alake confirmed that the campaign council will not engage in similar conduct and will focus on issues important to Nigerians, highlighting President Tinubu's achievements and the administration's progress towards prosperity.
