By The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar has taken a swipe at the presidential flagbearer of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore.
It would be recalled that Sowore had knocked the former Vice President over his comments on the recent collapse of the national grid.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Atiku had proposed “innovative financing” of infrastructure that would facilitate private sector investment in the power sector.
But Sowore replied that the mismanagement of President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration under which Atiku served as Vice President was responsible for the recurrent grid collapse.
However, speaking in an exclusive interview with Arise TV aired on Friday morning, Atiku said the AAC candidate “knows nothing about the country”.
“He is my opponent, what do you expect him to say? He has all along lived outside this country. He doesn’t even know the policy implementation or even the policy initiative,” he said.
“So, he doesn’t even know, because he lives outside this country. He comes after every four years and contest for the presidency and goes back. He fails and goes back again. So, what does Sowore know about this country? Nothing; absolutely nothing.”
