The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked security agencies to rein in former Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over his declaration that blood would flow unless the Court of Appeal gave his party's candidates victory in Osun and Ekiti states, describing the Action Congress (AC) chieftain as a grand patron of political violence.
The PDP, in a statement released to the media on Saturday by its National Vice Chairman (South West), Alhaji Tajudeen Oladipo, declared that in making that statement, "Tinubu had once again shown the whole world that he is an anarchist who should be made to respect the law of the land.
"If it is indeed true that he made that statement, then he has simply confirmed what we have always known that he is the grand patron of political violence in Nigeria who has no regard at all for the judiciary.
"He obviously wanted to intimidate and blackmail the judiciary by giving the Court of Appeal conditions for peace. For all we care, Tinubu can jump into the ocean if his wishes are not the wishes of the law. We believe in the rule of law, which is stronger and mightier than Tinubu's rule of guns and cutlasses.
"We also hope he knows that he would be living in a fool's paradise if he believes that violence, which failed him and his acolytes in Yorubaland in 2007, would avail him in 2011. Anyone who wants to use guns and cutlasses to win elections in 2011 will simply be taken care of by the law. We urge him and his boys to have a rethink now because we expect them to know the fate that awaits he whose head is used to break coconut shells," the PDP warned.
The party stressed further that it would not lose any of its five states in the South West in 2011, but would legitimately add Lagos to the list of states under its control. The party also alerted Tinubu to prepare for the mother of all defeats in the next election.
The statement further admonished parents in the South west to form a united front against political violence, "as a way of protecting their children from leaders like Tinubu who are out to wreck their future by making them political thugs."
Similarly, Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Lasisi Olagunju, stated that he hoped Tinubu would deny the statement "otherwise, he should simply be ignored by all reasonable people in the society.
"The AC went to court in the first instance and one would expect Tinubu as an AC leader who professes democracy, to give the judiciary the respect it deserves by allowing it to do its work dispassionately instead of threatening it (judiciary). We hope Tinubu was misquoted," Oyinlola said.

I am sure Tinubu was misquoted. Pdp had become synonymous to lies. If the only way we can get them out of our way is going to be bloody, so be it!

Nigeria politics is always about Blood. make dem continue killing and drinking blood.

PDP should shut up!!!!


We Nigerians know those who made elections Do or Die affairs.

Dog eat dog!

Muza:

Dog eat dog!

They are all the same. If Tinubu was in PDP shoes he would do the same. Even within AC in Lagos there was no election primaries it was just selection otherwise Fashola would never have become a governor. Fashola doing well though

At least he picked the right man, even though many people did not give fashola the chance. What is more, he let the gov do his job. . .

PDP should put their house in order
