The Spokesperson of the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Festus Keyamo, has reacted to a video of his PDP opponent, Senator Dino Melaye, mocking the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
Melaye repeatedly fell to the ground during a PDP presidential rally in Asaba on Tuesday, while mocking Tinubu.
Tinubu’s health and his apparent frailty on the campaign trail, have dominated social media discourse ahead of Nigeria’s presidential vote on February 25.
Keyamo referenced the 2008 US election while responding to Melaye, saying the latter’s stunt was an act of imbecility.
He wrote on Twitter: “Obama’s rival in 2008 US election, Sen. McCain had a deformity in one hand. Obama’s team showed him respect & NEVER mocked him for it. But here, a VP candidate laughs as a clown falls on stage to mock another candidate. It’s the height of imbecility. They owe Nigerians an apology.”
