VIDEO: ‘PDP has brought us shame’ – Ayu gaffes at Kano rally

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Iyorchia Ayu, on Thursday, gaffed while speaking at the party’s presidential campaign rally in Kano State.

Ayu, while speaking at the rally held at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano, said “PDP has brought us shame”.

The PDP chairman made the error while speaking on the reasons the people of Kano State should not vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former Senate President, a few seconds after his gaffe, corrected himself and said “APC”.

“They are full of lies. They have nothing to offer the ‘talakas’ (poor) in Nigeria. We will come back.

“Our president, Atiku Abubakar, who you will vote to power in the next few weeks, we will rally around him.

“We will discuss our policies, and we will see where it is affecting you. We will make sure we implement a successful policy that will bring back Nigeria to its glory.

“We are supposed to be the leaders in Africa and everywhere in the world, we should be respected. PDP has brought us shame and we will not continue to retain them in power… APC.

“Vote for PDP from top to bottom, from bottom to top; Atiku Abubakar as president,” Ayu said.

Ayu’s gaffe is the latest in a series of slip-ups by presidential candidates ahead of the 2023 general election.

It would be recalled that the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, while speaking at the party’s campaign rally in Plateau State on December 13, enjoined the people of the state to “ensure that you vote for A… I mean PDP this time around”.

The APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, had earlier said “God bless PD…APC”.
