Stop Dancing ‘Skelewu’ On Abuja Streets, Tinubu Warns Atiku

President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has asked the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar  to respect his grand old age and stop following court jesters like Dino Melaye to dance ‘skelewu’ and causing traffic snarls within the nation’s capital, Abuja.

Tinubu was reacting to Monday’s protest to the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by Atiku and some leaders of the PDP.

‘Skelewu’ is a dance form established by the musician, David Adeleke (Davido) in his song of the same title.

Describing the action as a new low and a theatre of the absurd, Tinubu said it was strange that a former vice president of the country could be so idle as to disturb the public peace.

Director, Media and Publicity, at the All Progressives Congress APC Presidential Campaign Council PCC, Mr Bayo Onanuga in a statement said when Atiku told the world last week that he would seek redress in court over the outcome of the 25 February Presidential election, little did the PCC know that he did not plan to be guided by his own promise.

“Going by his political antecedents, it was rather not surprising that Atiku, days later, led a band of protesters, nay jesters in Abuja, to the Headquarters of Independent National Electoral Commission INEC.
