Piqued by the state of the nation, the national leader
of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, called for immediate action in order
to to rescue the country from total collapse. In an
interview he granted during his condolence visit to
the widow of the late Vice Chairman of The Sun
Publishing Ltd, Pastor Dimgba Igwe, Obioma, the
former Lagos State governor spoke briefly on the
problems confronting the nation and his rumoured
sickness recently.
Excerpts:

1)With the death of Dimgba Igwe, what have you to
say on the state of the nation with the myriad of
problems confronting her?

At a period when oil revenue has remained stable for
the last number of years at $100 per barrel, if the
quality of life of our people is still as this, it is
unfortunate. Poverty, insecurity, unemployment! In
fact, if the per capita income of an individual, I mean
the purchasing power of an individual is improved
upon, you will be better off. That is the truth. And if
the gap between the poor and the rich is widening
and some few, very tiny people are moving towards
the ceilings while some people remain on the floor,
permanently on the floor, crawling, and wallowing in
poverty.We have to think about the type of society we
want to build.
Here is a man’s house; simple. When you hear the
name of Dimgba outside there, you will think he is
wealthy. You will think he is living in affluence. On his
part, you will see sign of someone still struggling
economically in this environment. Is that the type of
Nigeria we will continue to build with sentiments,
emotions and wrong assumptions? All we have to do
is to rescue our nation and build ourselves in a way
that will bring happiness and prosperity to our
people. That is what we should think about now.

2)People are worried about your health, what is the
state of your health?

My appearance puts an end to that rumour. Wait a
minute. I have not taken a rest since 1994 after MKO
Abiola’s election. In the Social Democratic Party (SDP)
, days when we were in trenches, it was either you
were in exile or somewhere else. It was a day-in-day-
out working machine type of life. It is either one
person was facing this direction or the other man
facing the other direction. When the late Chief
Anthony Enahoro came back, may his soul rest in
peace, he came back with a walking stick. You know it
was a gruesome period that nobody could sleep and
take an adequate rest.
Then came 1999; and ever since then, we have been
on a political horse race, barefooted, fighting a war
while some people are on the horse. The body must
rest. A whole lot of you might not know. Sometimes I
don’t go to bed until 4.30 in the morning and by 8:00
am I am already up answering questions and
planning elections.

3)What then happened?

I have promised myself and my family that, one day I
will escape, go to rest and nobody would be able to
reach me. And that was what I did. I didn’t do
anything rather than general medical check up in
April. Okay? It was not even up to a time to check. I
went to my doctor friend to say do I have to, or do
you have to examine me again with all these rumours
going on? And he said forget it. Now, tomorrow, if
you like I would bring my exercise bike out and I will
ride for you. E-e-eh…There is nothing (wrong with
me). That is the truth. I didn’t even have a need for a
Panadol or Paracetamol since I have been away. That
is the gospel truth.
And if you go to Lagos State Ministry of Health, some
people are insinuating that Lagos State is paying his
medical bills. That he has been there. You go to the
ministry and find out.

4)What then is your advice to journalists on this

type of rumour?
I think as a member and leader in this profession-
Journalism, I will say you must be challenged to
question some of these hearsays from those who will
just go to Isi Ewu centers and cook stories because it
tells on your profession, integrity and honesty. Again,
if you try to cry wolf, wolf, wolf when there is none,
the day wolf comes, nobody will be there to rescue
you. Then, intellectually we have seen that in the area
of politics, this is political genocide as far as I am
concerned. Is there anybody there who had planted
poison in my body, expecting it to incubate and
germinate and kill me by now? Or hospitalize me by
now? That is making my family members worried.

Welcome back mr ranting jan.jaweed

Hahahaha Tifubu don resemble tout

Anyways I can't comment now. yes the rain is toooo much!!

Yes we do need to rescue Nigeria from People like you and likes of Bode George.

The best way to solve a problem is to remove and replace the faulty components.

Nigeria has the problem of bad leadership and corruption that has its roots in PDP - Just remove the PDP, and Nigeria will start the process of recuperation.

"No matter how long you queue behind a broken vehicle, you will not move forward" - Egift

We need to rescue you!

Yes, nigeria needs to be rescued, the question is nigeria need to be rescued from who?

We need to rescue Nigeria for the hands of APC and their lies, propaganda and hypocrisy.

egift: The best way to solve a problem is to remove and replace the faulty components.

Nigeria Lagos has the problem of bad leadership and corruption that has its roots in PDP APC - Just remove the PDP APC, and Nigeria Lagos will start the process of recuperation.

I am sure you will agree that a state that cannot provide something as BASIC and essential as TAP water to its residents is an epitome of "bad leadership and corruption". Not so

This in spite of annual N20 billion budget

Look At this ALUU congregation posing as a thread. The idiotic supporters of the misruler and looter in Aso Rock, making billions of dollars disappear into thin air daily, are always the most vociferous in condemnation of a man who has no official position that influences their wretched lives either way. Talk about confused mumus suffering from Stockholm syndrome which leads them to worship their oppressors while looking for innocent people to lynch like thos ALUU savages who killed, in cold blood, those young Nigerians with their lives ahead of them.

The person worsening your plight and leading your nation towards a future of corruption-driven bankruptcy, insecurity, economic failure, ethnic strife and moral collapse is the accidental leader in Aso Rock you all worship clannishly while coming here daily to rant against Tinubu like rabid dogs.

Did you actually say "drug dealer"
And I thought your JagaBandit is the one who was indicted by US authorities for laundering drug money and subsequently forfeited $460,000 or so to them rather than face serious jail time
Smart crook and Smooth Criminal all rolled into one transformed into Asiwaju of Area Boys

NO TINUBU WE WILL FIRST OF ALL RESCUE LAGOS TREASURY FROM YOUR KLEPTOMANIAC HANDS

VICTORCIZA: NO TINUBU WE WILL FIRST OF ALL RESCUE LAGOS TREASURY FROM YOUR KLEPTOMANIAC HANDS

Why do you not leave lagosians to do that if at all such needs doing? Confused mumu. You will speak vehemently about who should be Emir in a Land you are not linked to, obsess about Osun, Ekiti , Ogun and Nasarawa State affair all day long yet not a whisper about your State and region of origin. What is wrong with you homeless vagabonds and ideological nomads? Do you not have your own States and problem to discuss? Or is it that you are wannabees who want to be everything/everyone else other than what you are?

Jagaban goes to the US as he pleases. Can your Lord Commander Baruji Kashamu take a brief trip to the US?? He would definitely find befitting lodgings in Alcatraz. Good thing Al Capone and Joe Bunano are dead.

PDP?

Ok sir!

PDP mis amalgamted North and South.
PDP sponsored Nzeogwu's coup.

They sponsored the counter coup, the mass killing of Igbos across Nigeria, the Biafran war, the Murtala coup, the Dimka coup, the Buhari coup, the IBB coup, the june 12 saga, the Abacha coup, Abiola's death, the Almajeri problem of thw North, all the Islamic riots in the North, all the kidnappings in the South, the Asari rebellion!

Even now, we are agitating for the Independent State of Biafra, blame it on the PDP!

Yeah, we must rescue Nigeria from corrupt leaders.
We are tired for recycling old and expired politicians .

Btw, Tinubu is really looking good.
He rested very well...

Yes de rescue mission wud start frm u.
1. U must stop impossing candidate on Lagosians.
2. U must stop hijacking government machineries
3. Appointment must b evenly distributed and not only 2 ur family n frnds.

If Lagos State is where you resides that means the past and present governors have done something worthy that makes people like you to flock in thousand to, besides i am still waiting for post of water projects that your state governor has commissioned in the past 3years
