Tinubu used Buhari’s burial to appease North – ADC

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has accused President Bola Tinubu of using the burial ceremony of the late former President, Muhammadu Buhari, to whitewash his image.

This was contained in a statement issued on Friday and signed by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.

ADC accused Tinubu of exploiting Buhari’s death for political gain.

The statement said the tribute at the Federal Executive Council and the presence of Buhari’s son, Yusuf, was “a calculated PR stunt by an unpopular government.”

According to ADC, Tinubu’s government spent the past year blaming Buhari for the current economic challenges in Nigeria, but has now made a U-turn following his death, in a bid to redeem itself, particularly in the North and among Buhari loyalists.

“Grief is not a campaign strategy,” ADC said in parts of the statement.

It added: “Nevertheless, we are confident that Nigerians can see through their grand deceit.

“No public relations stunt can save a government that has behaved in the last two years like an army of occupation.”
