Those Who Accepted Spaghetti And Wrapper To Vote For Tinubu Are Suffering The Most – Damagum

The embattled acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Damagum, has taken a jab at Nigerians who supported President Bola Tinubu during his campaign.

He said that they are now enduring the consequences of trading their votes for items like spaghetti and wrappers.

Damagum stated this on Friday during a visit to the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, who doubles as the Chairman of the PDP governors forum.

He noted that the ongoing hardships faced by many should serve as a lesson to prioritize credible and capable leaders over short-term inducements.

Addressing journalists after a close-door meeting with the governor and other stakeholders of the PDP, he said “The APC was never ready to govern, so what good could possibly come from them?” 

“Those who accepted spaghetti and wrappers to bring in this government are suffering the most, and this should serve as a lesson. We must seek credible, proven, and tested leaders who are genuinely prepared to govern, not those who simply say, emi lo kan,” (SIC).

Damagum expressed concern over the continued hardship many Nigerians are enduring, which he attributed to policies from Tinubu’s administration under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking on Damagum’s visit, Governor Bala Mohammed denied the existence of any faction within the PDP.

He also reassured that the issues of suspension and internal crises would be resolved amicably.
