Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation has argued that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has confirmed to Nigerians what to expect if they voted him into power in the next year poll.
He said like their experience under the outgoing government, Tinubu confirmed during the Chatham House event that he will transfer leadership and responsibility to the cabal or proxies if elected president.
Reacting to Tinubu’s performance at the Chatham House, London, where Tinubu was assigning some members of his campaign team to answer questions posed to him, the spokesman of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign Committee, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the elaborate event, further showed that Tinubu was completely out of tune with developments around him and unfit for leadership of the country at this time.
He said in the event of being elected president, Tinubu had clearly showed that he would transfer the task of leading the nation to proxies.
He said: “Asiwaju has confirmed to Nigerians and the rest of the world that he has no business contesting the 2023 presidential election and that he is grossly incompetent, completely unprepared for leadership and intends to transfer the onerous task of leading the nation to proxies and cabal that did not seek votes from Nigerians.”
He also carpeted claims that Tinubu was responsible for the growth and progress in Lagos, saying contrary to Tinubu’s spin doctors’ claims, his successors – Governors Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode and Babajide Sanwo-Olu have equally contributed to what Lagos is today.
Ologbondiyan said just as Tinubu has no business in eyeing the presidential seat, he also needs to be flushed out of Lagos as he has turned elective offices in the state into a family circus.
He said there is nothing on ground in Lagos that compared to the humongous revenue the state is making in Lagos. “Tinubu has cornered everything in Lagos. You cannot even aspire to become a councillor in Lagos without his approval. It is time and we are determined to break his hold in Lagos.”
