The All Progressives Congress in Plateau State has dismissed former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s recent visit to Jos, stating that the ex-VP lacks the locus standi to complain on behalf of the people of the State.
In a statement signed on Monday by its acting publicity secretary, Shittu Bamaiyi, Plateau APC said Atiku’s attack was politically motivated and uninformed, but news men reported that Tinubu over the weekend attended the funeral service for Mama Lydia, held at the Church of Christ in Nations headquarters in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
During the service, the President delivered a speech calling for unity, peace, and tolerance, urging residents to shun religious and ethnic differences and to coexist in harmony.
