Buhari regime using fuel scarcity, naira notes crisis to suppress my election chances: Tinubu

Bola Tinubu on Wednesday accused the Buhari administration of using the raging fuel scarcity and recently-introduced naira notes and cash handling policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to blunt his chances at the ballot box next month.

“You’re hoarding fuel and hoarding the naira,” Mr Tinubu said during a campaign stop in Abeokuta this afternoon. “Still, we will vote, and we will win this election.”

“Whether you change the ink of the naira or spend money till you are in debt, things won’t turn out as you hope, we are the ones who will win the election, and our opponents will fail,” Mr Tinubu said.

The presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress was expressing his disapproval over the fuel crisis that has seen long queues across the country, with citizens spending productive hours at filling stations while also paying more to get the crucial commodity.

The CBN also recently announces changes to the national currency and vastly limited amounts that could be withdrawn in a day from bank accounts across the country. The currency change has seen millions of Nigerians besieging banking halls across the country in a rush to deposit cash still in their possessions. Politicians like Mr Tinubu, who have been counting on using cash to sway the election, have been grumbling over the policy changes.

Recognising the potential devastation of acute fuel shortages ahead of a presidential election, Mr Tinubu appeared not only to distance himself from the policies but to insinuate a conspiracy against him by President Muhammadu Buhari, his political ally whom he helped into office in 2015. Mr Buhari has indicated his intention to allow a level-playing field during the upcoming election, a position that has unsettled Mr Tinubu who was looking forward to a generous payback for his contribution to Mr Buhari’s electoral successes in 2015 and 2019.

Mr Buhari said he backed CBN’s decision to recolour naira notes in order to restore control over the money supply. Millions of Nigerians have been forced by the programme to transfer their cash to banks before it loses its legal tender status next week. While the general public has lamented the policy’s haste, political moneybags have more insidious discontent.

Mr Tinubu and his crew have a niche for influencing elections with money through various means, including vote buying. On the eve of the 2019 general elections, multiple bullion vans were seen entering his private residence in Ikoyi Lagos, drawing wide criticisms. His contenders Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party have also been previously accused of paying voters.

Mr Tinubu said the government’s plan to remove subsidies and increase in fuel prices are tactics to scare the voters, promising a reduced price at the pump if elected on February 25.

“They want to put their caps on their waist, they are planning to increase the price of fuel, don’t be worried, we will bring it down. They don’t want the election to hold, but will you let them?” he asked rhetorically.

“They think they can cause panic, the sabotaged fuel supply, whether there are means on vehicular movement or not, on election day, we will go and vote, and we will win,” he added.

Tulubo trying so hard to resurrect his dead ambition because of personal selfishness

Hehehe! It has been endless weeping, wailing and lamentations since January 1st on the side of the emilokan ACN - APC.He didn't know when the gavy train have disconnected from him. Tinubu you see your life?

It is confirmed! Bola Tinubu is the one instigating the DSS to fight & arrest Godwin Emefiele. These were the kinds of antics played by Tinubu and the APC with the Occupy & Save Nigeria groups especially the anti-subsidy riots @ Ojota during the pre-2014 era. Karma is back.

A news from gazette is no news . I think only a fool can take gazette as a credible source of information .
Gazette and Sahara reporters are mere hungry blogs dishing out sensational headlines and too-good-to-be-true news just to clickbait and make more money

So APC is Campaigning Against APC?

Wonderful

Tinubu is proud, boastful, arrogant and uncultured.

He will fail woefully!

💩 💩 💩

Bye bye to the founder of agberos in Nigeria and the drug landlord of Africa....

See this man.He did not criticise Buhari for the insecurity and high inflation that Buhari inflicted upon Nigerians.It is his personal ambition that matters to him.
If tinubu is sure of winning the election he should not use his agent,oluomo and iyaloja,to coerce voters to vote for him.
He should not bribe voters.
Lastly,he should not influence the electoral officers to use incidence form.
The election should be a clean contest.

Nawao

E Don red for bulabu anyway more gworo to gandollar 😂😂😂😂😂

You guys punished Nigerians, lied to Nigerians, deceived Nigerians, killed Nigerians and you expect us to reward you to continue....

We are taking back our country with Peter Obi

.

Just look at this greedy balablu bulaba druggie that is only concerned with his selfish emilokan ambition
&not what Nigerians are suffering for the fuel scarcity.

I saw your signature, how much is 100 bags of white and yellow garri please.

See the way he was talking today in abeokuta. One could barely hear him. Baba sounded like a microphone with a dying battery.

Is it now he's just knowing that buhari is not in support of his ambition? Something that is so obvious to everyone. A president that hasn't following his party Candidate to campaign venues

Even when he decided to now following him he only chose 10 state out of 36 states, his body language at the campaign grounds says it all. Baba dey show everyone that he's neutral and won't influence anything.

Misleading headline from another Mikano boy. Tinubu wasn't referring to Buhari's govt but saboteurs hoarding fuel & increasing fuel price as against the regulated price.

Children of hate and bitterness, the manner at which you wish people dead makes Satan cringe. Your fathers that were hale and hearty, were are they today?... Where is the President of Onaheze Ndigbo?, where is Abia PDP Gubernatorial Candidate?, i'm sure they at one point in time, had insulted Tinubu. If you dropped dead today, we won't be surprised if you dropped dead before Tinubu.

APC is a confused party.

Nigeria are now ready to vote wisely

The light is getting clearer. History will soon repeat itself. I guess Awolowo and Abiola will laugh in their graves.

IPOB and LIES

If an IPOB does not lie a day, they will fall sick

That is why IPOB can never hear good news

Sensational, twisted headline as usual from Gazette.

Continue to live in denial.

I thought he was a strategist? Very emotional like his urchins.

I wish to see osinbajo and Rotimi Amechi's faces smiling joyously as e de pain tinubu and his urchins.

Guys there's a real shady issue wrong with tinubus emergence that even Buhari will not see him succeed.

Baba no gree
