ABUJA—NATIONAL leadership
of Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, yesterday, described
the national leader of Action
Congress of Nigeria, ACN,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as a
despot for imposing his
daughter, Mrs. Folashade
Tinubu-Ojo, as President-
General of the Association of
Nigerian Market Women and
Men.
The party said Folashade
Tinubu-Ojo was not a full-
time trader and cannot on
that note succeed Tinubu’s
mother, late Alhaja Abibat
Mogaji.
In a statement, yesterday,
by PDP’s Acting National
Publicity Secretary, Tony
Caesar Okeke, the party
also lampooned the
leadership of ACN for asking
President Goodluck
Jonathan to probe reports
that security operatives
prevented Rivers State
governor, Chibuike Amaechi,
from personally exchanging
pleasantries with him at a
dinner at the Presidential
villa last Wednesday.
Okeke described the demand
by the ACN as “irresponsible,
meddlesomeness and foolish
scandal-mongering.”
He said ACN and its co-
traveller, Congress for
Progressive Change, CPC,
were merely embittered by
the reconciliations in the PDP
and were, as such, crying
wolf where there was none.
Stating that such protocol
issues were understood by
all, PDP said ACN and CPC
had, over time, showed that
they were quarrelsome
parties which derived
pleasure in causing
disaffection among Nigerians.
He said: “The ACN and the
CPC are merely embittered
by the reconciliations so far
achieved in the PDP and
seek to use all means to
undermine it. That is why
they are crying wolf where
there is none. Protocol
issues are understood all
over the world. Therefore
the demand by the ACN
smacks of irresponsible
meddlesomeness and foolish
scandal-mongering aimed at
causing disaffection among
our leaders and party
members.”
The party said President
Goodluck Jonathan had a
good relationship with all
state governors, including
that of Rivers State, and
commended him for the
reconciliations so far
achieved in the PDP.
On Tinubu, the PDP said the
ACN leader, “who parades
himself as a democrat” has
clearly shown his despotic
tendencies, with the
installation of his daughter
as the leader of traders
without recourse to
democratic processes.
Nigerians have clearly seen
that the so-called
democrats and self-styled
messiahs in the ACN are,
indeed, wolves in sheep’s
skins.”

I'm waiting for Ruben Abati's speech!! Let him dissect tinibu and A.CN

PDP should first remove the iroko tree on their eyes before pointing fingers to the dust elsewhere.

Truth be told - the problem of Nigeria is PDP (poverty, corruption, insecurity, illiteracy, underdevelopment, bad economy, poor leadership, etc)

In Nigerians system of Federation, the centre holds all the cards. If Nigeria is to developed or get reformed, it must come from the centre.

Since 1999, we have seen the best and the worst of PDP it is seriously lacking in substance. Nigeria needs good leadership to develop and PDP is not doing that. The APC is a platform for the nation to deliver itself from the corruption on PDP holding us down - failure is not an option. The lies and propaganda of PDP cannot help them this time.

God bless Nigeria, my Fatherland.

All the Obas in lagos as well the entire ACN governors pays royalties to Tinubu. The man is now The Master And High Lord Of Yoruba Clan. Musiwa24/26 I wonder what you are waiting for,Tinubu would chase you out of your father's compound very soon. You better use that your Nairaland statelite pictures influence against him for real or forever remain his loyal subject.
