Dr Olatunde urged the people to pay close attention to Makinde’s words as spreading falsehood and fabrications are in his campaign DNA, noting that the BBC debate was a veritable platform to market his programmes. He noted that everyone should know that Makinde’s PDP is synonymous with selling our collective patrimony, stating that the presidential candidate of PDP has told the whole world about his plans to sell the country’s holdings like the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). “The status of BBC as a reputable media organization is known to the whole world.
