The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has advised residents of Akwa Ibom State against voting for the flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar in the forthcoming elections.
Tinubu stated this on Monday during his campaign rally at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium Uyo, adding that if Atiku is elected, he may sell their palm trees and run to Dubai.
He further urged the people to collect their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and vote APC in order to usher in a new era of prosperity, infrastructural renaissance, and human capital developments.
If the populace makes the error of electing the PDP, Tinubu warned, its candidate “may sell your palm trees and run to Dubai.”
He encouraged the people to arm themselves with their PVCs and be part of the sweeping revolution, assuring that he would end insecurity, fuel crisis and create an enabling environment for socio-economic activities to thrive in the country.

He said: “The power to become President resides in you. ‘Emilokan’ (this is my turn) and God will give you the power to make it realizable through your PVCs. So, if you don’t have it, go and get it because if God blesses me as your next President, you will be put in proper places. But, If you give him (Atiku) a chance, he will sell your palm trees and run to Dubai.”
Tinubu also described Atiku as a man that cannot be trusted, recalling that when he was the Vice President to Olusegun Obasanjo, he (Atiku) engaged in wanton sleazy deals and selling off of some national assets, which he turned out to be the single beneficiary.
