I’m Not Fighting Fashola, Says Tinubu by Flame4chi(m): 5:39am On Aug 27, 2015 |
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has distanced himself from the
recent attacks against former Governor Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos State.
Tinubu added that the attacks were being sponsored by
the Peoples Democratic Party.
Tinubu, who is a former governor of Lagos State, said this
in a statement issued by his media office on Wednesday.
Fashola, according to a report on the state government’s
website, spent N78.3m on his personal website,
www.tundefashola.com and N139m to construct two
boreholes at the Lagos House, Ikeja, when he was
governor.
There had been speculations that the reports were being
sponsored by Tinubu as part of efforts to discredit him
and deny him the opportunity of being appointed a
minister by President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, Tinubu said the allegations against him
(Tinubu), were the handiworks of mischief makers
sponsored by the PDP.
The statement partly read, “The PDP is just recently out
of office at the federal level and it built a vast,
unprecedented financial war chest to contest the
elections. The residual of that war chest is still at work,
buying media space to plant rumours in hopes of
spreading discord through the APC.
“Thus, the enemy camp may be a minority but it is a large
and well-funded one that knows it only chance lies in us
attacking ourselves.”
The APC leader said he had nothing against his successor,
Fashola. He said Fashola served the state meritoriously
for eight years.
He, therefore, condemned those calling for Fashola’s
probe.
He said any criticism of Fashola was an indictment on
him because he was instrumental to making Fashola
governor.
He said, “Our political opponents now try to steal victory
when their only entitlement is resounding defeat. Having
fared woefully with the electorate, their game plan is to
sow discord within the ranks of the party the people had
chosen to lead them. The PDP hopes to strike a division
in the APC, in that way weakening us and our ability to
govern.
“This brings me to recent developments in the Lagos
political scene. Born of this motley stew is the recent
gossip mongering that I have wilfully instigated false and
negative reports against former Governor Fashola to
thwart him from being appointed to a major post in the
Buhari administration.
“I want to declare clearly and categorically that these
rancid attacks do not come from me nor do I endorse
them. Neither my hand nor my heart is in these mean
submissions. I deplore them.
“An attack against the performance of Governor Fashola
is indirectly an attack against me and the edifice of
achievements we have constructed in leading Lagos State
out of a protracted time of stagnation and into an era of
sustained progress and development.”
He said he and Fashola will forever remain close because
they had struggled together.
He said having ensured that his party retained Lagos for
over 16 years, it would be unwise of him to pull down
what he helped build.
He added, “I for one will not bend to the artificial
provocation of those seeking to tear at what we have
painstakingly built over the years. In my mind, Governor
Fashola and I alliance is unshakeable and our journey
must not be interrupted. I would no more attack his
character or his administration than I would attack
myself.” |
