Social media users have reacted to a gaffe by Iyorchia Ayu, the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking a the party's recent rally in Kano State on the reasons the people of the state should not vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayu said: “PDP has brought us shame”, but after a few seconds, he corrected himself and said “APC”.

Ayu said if Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, is elected, policies that will improve the country’s economy will be implemented.

Ayu’s gaffe is the latest in a string of slip-ups by presidential candidates.

On December 13, 2022, the PDP presidential candidate, while speaking at the party’s campaign rally in Plateau state, begged the people of the state to “ensure that you vote for A… I mean PDP this time around”.

Weeks before, Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had said: “God bless PD…APC”.

This is just a slip.
Totally different from bulaba, balablu

Who cares,as long it's not TINUBU we won't escalate it cos his vices are more than his virtues . However,stop campaigning like opposition party, you're a ruling party. When will you contest for ordinary counscilorship election?

“out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
In Luke 6:45,.” If you want to know what is on the inside of a person, you simply watch his actions; listen to what comes out of his mouth on a regular basis. This is not being judgmental; this is being realistic.

PDP is in a mess the members know the reasons why they will continue to make mistakes. Even God has rejected them that's why @atiku will never be president
