Former Vice- President, Atiku Abubakar on Wednesday said it is pedestrian for anyone to ask for votes because of walking or physical exercise.
Atiku, a frontline presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was taking a swipe at the presidency for saying President Muhammadu Buhari has shown his fitness to seek reelection in 2019 by walking 800 metres back home from the Eid ground on Tuesday.
In a post on his social media handles, Atiku said “I regularly jog more than a mile and exercise, but it will be pedestrian of me to ask Nigerians to vote for me because of that”.
“ I want my party – the PDP, and Nigerians, to vote for me because I WORK not because I WALK. I will work to create jobs. I won’t walk to create an illusion”
