Segun Showunmi, a former spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections has reacted to the criticism directed at him by Omoyele Sowore.
Showunmi had spent part of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations with President Bola Tinubu.
On Sunday evening, Sowunmi, a chieftain of the PDP, via his X account, shared a photo of him standing next to Tinubu.
Reacting to Sowore’s attack ,Showumi said ; Omoyele Sowore, my brother, can you, in all honesty, say that the gang of the blind should lead the one that sees? Have you not observed the joke they call a coalition?
“I was very upfront that if by May 29 they don’t settle who the candidate is, it will be tedious for any same person to joke about with them.
Have you not observed their so-called leaders? Pray Yele shall I not greet our brother/father just because he is president!”When their father was president, did you see me there? Perhaps if you had allowed us to sit and review, I might have been on your side given your efforts. I don’t see how anyone will let a Yoruba person in when a Yoruba man is president it will amount to taking the piss with the other zone.
Whatever their fathers taught them, our fathers are the owners of the manual. Look at Peter Obi ask where his party is? Look at Atiku Abubakar. Ask what has become of the party that gave him VP twice and the presidential ticket twice.
“Time spent with the president was deployed on very serious issues. I assure you.”
