Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), on Monday condemned Omoyele Sowore, a former presidential candidate, for ‘wasting his precious gift of time on acrimony and division, pull him Down syndrome, armchair criticism, unsubstantiated allegations’ against oppositions.
Igbokwe was reacting to Sowore’s latest criticism of Bola Tinubu, the APC National Leader, who just returned from the United Kingdom (UK).
In photos circulating on the internet, Tinubu, 69, had appeared in a stylish wear, looking youthful.
Sowore took to his verified Facebook page to quote: “You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time #WeCantContinueLikeThis,” to which Igbokwe responded: “it is not good to continue to waste your precious gift of time on acrimony and division, pull him Down syndrome, armchair criticism, unsubstantiated allegations etc.”
The former Lagos governor arrived the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on Sunday.
Recall this newspaper had reported how Tinubu jetted out of the country in January after weeks of consultations across the country over his 2023 presidential ambition.
He was rumoured to have visited the European country to rest and undergo medical checkup, while a source in his camp said he went to visit his family in the UK.
Tunde Rahman, Tinubu’s media aide, later said his principal went to the UK for “meetings and consultations”.
While in London, he had meetings with the UK chapter of the APC.
In January, Tinubu visited President Muhammadu Buhari during which he announced his intention to contest the presidency in 2023.
