The All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, has accused Atiku of offering a Greek Gift to former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, to humiliate him by his suggestion that the former President's face should be on the planned new Naira notes.
The party also said its candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is far healthier and better than that of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
APC was reacting to a statement by Atiku's campaign team, which said Tinubu was not fit to govern the nation.
"Even Peter Obi has far more to offer than him. Atiku and his camp know that Jagaban will win this election hands down and as each day passes it is getting clearer.

"Tinubu is not fit. I challenge him to a medical examination and Atiku will do same. We want to see if Tinubu's pronouncement of agbado, cassava and 50 million youths to be employed in the army and people tweeting on WhatsApp are mere statements or they were made out of mental imbalance.
"Aso Rock is looking for a healer, not a patient. Nigerians don't want another President that will be visiting London every week and cause us economic and social distractions.ÔÇØ

The APC PCC spokesman said; "This is the same man that is now calling OBJ a statesman and is saying he deserves a Nobel Prize and that his face should be on the naira.
"Atiku is lying. He does not mean a word of it. He is offering a Greek gift. He is playing politics.
"Deep down he hates OBJ with a passion and he has always done because the President outfoxed and outpunched him at every turn when he attempted his treacherous move to usurp him and take his place as President.
"Some of us shall never forget that. A man brought you from nowhere and made you his Vice President and you tried to knife him in the back and take his position.
"You tried to disgrace and humiliate him and you coveted his seat. That sounds like Lucifer when he was in heaven to me.
