The All Progressive Congress has fired back at the allegation from ADC regarding the obnoxious statement on Buhari’s burial. The latest outburst from the African democratic congress(ADC) regarding former president Buhari’s state burial is nothing but an opportunistic exercise in manufactured outrage-
The APC in Lagos State says President Bola Tinubu’s attendance at memorial events and his public tribute to the late President Muhammadu Buhari reflect not opportunism, but loyalty and national leadership. The Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Seye Oladejo, made a remark in a statement on Saturday in Lagos. While Oladejo was reacting to a statement made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alleging that the president was exploiting Buhari’s death for political publicity.
Let it be made abundantly clear: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari shared a political alliance rooted in mutual respect, democratic ideals, and nation-building.
“Tinubu’s attendance at memorial events and his public tribute to the late president reflect not opportunism, but loyalty and national leadership. “It is hypocritical for any party, especially one as electorally irrelevant as the ADC, to lecture the APC on decorum or empathy,” Oladejo said.
According to him, while Nigerians are in mourning, the ADC sees only an opportunity to stir controversy and provoke division.
In a statement also obtained on the APC social media handle to back up the statement from the APC Lagos zone, it was stated that the burial of the former president was conducted with the honor befitting a leader of his stature. That is why world leaders showed up, millions of Nigerians tuned in on television and across social media, and even ADC promoters were falling over themselves in Duara, prancing about the Buhari family compound.
