A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, said on Thursday in Lagos that the APC would send the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, into retirement on Saturday for the good of Nigeria.
Mr Tinubu said this in a statement by his Media Officer, Tunde Rahman.
”This election is more than a contest between two men, President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, for that one exalted chair.
”Look, I have made no attempts to hide my friendship with Atiku. We are friends before this election and hopefully we will be friends after Feb. 16 when he goes into retirement.
“For the good of Nigeria and even the good of Atiku himself, we will do well to send him into retirement on Saturday.
”Perhaps, we should also send Obi into retirement along with his boss come Feb. 16. Perhaps together they might manage to discover the place where they might learn compassion for the common man,” he said.

Mr Tinubu said there was not much good that could be found in the policies and programmes announced by the PDP.
“Atiku’s answers to our economic challenges are to shrink and restrain government from being the active catalyst toward a diversified economy that assured broadly-shared prosperity through the just allocation of wealth and reward according to sweat and toil put forth by the Nigerian people.
“They seek an unfair, unjust and unequal Nigeria. Their definition of Nigeria is a nation run by the greedy, for the profit of the rich, at the command of the mighty,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the objective of the APC was to remake Nigeria into a great nation.
“Our vision is the opposite of theirs, Unlike the PDP, we, the APC, are anchored to the proposition that every Nigerian is entitled to equal access and sufficient economic opportunity so that he may use his talents, skills and committed exertion to carve for himself and his loved ones the decent and good life every human being seeks.
“The ordinary person is not to be shortchanged of the fair dividends of his honest sweat and diligent labour simply because he may be poor or because the powerful and wealthy want more.
“Because of the APC’s concerns for the struggles of the average person, we launched beneficial social welfare programmes such as the school feeding programme, Trader-Moni and N-Power.

As such, we have made progress caring for our most needy and vulnerable through these and other innovative and unprecedented policies. These programmes are of the type all great nations do for their citizens,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the APC was not satisfied by what had been accomplished, saying that what had been done was the opening phase of a more ambitious undertaking.
“We have just begun to fight poverty and reform this economy on the scale required. Though we have helped millions, several millions more are needed to end poverty’s stranglehold on their lives.
“We must expand the scope and reach of our social welfare programmes to encompass those other people who have been denied access to the productive economy through no fault of their own.
“Additionally, we must put idle hands to work to build a modern infrastructure that will energise agricultural output in rural areas and foster labour-intensive industrialisation in our growing cities, ” he said.
The former governor of Lagos State said the second term of Mr Buhari would be dedicated to changing the structure of the economy for the better.
“We must amend our national economic architecture to unlock the full potentials of our people and our land. To me, this is the core mandate of government for and of the people.
“Throughout the campaign, we have talked about taking Nigeria to the Next Level. To me, this Next Level is informed by forging a new partnership between government and the governed to create a more just and prosperous economy for all.
The beginning of this new partnership is already taking shape. As stated before, we have initiated a first phase of social welfare programmes,” he said.
Mr Tinubu, a former senator, urged the people of South West to join APC in implementing the Next Level agenda.
“The South West has always been at the vanguard of progressive governance in Nigeria. Today should be no exception to this historic role we have played.
“I ask the people of the South West to join the APC so that we attain the Next Level by implementing this bold and good new partnership built on the following pillars: power, infrastructure, housing, industrialisation, agriculture and social security,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the coming elections were a choice between progress and retreat.
“The future is uncertain until we enter it. Feb. 16 is Election Day and on that day Nigeria shall step into its future.
“How you vote on that day will determine whether we walk into the future in a manner that guides our subsequent steps toward the national greatness that calls to us or will we walk into it backwards as if feebly trying to reinvent the past.
“One road leads to a certain replay of the economic injustices of the past. It is a road well-worn with familiar pitfalls and setbacks built into the very nature of it.
“The other road provides the truest, brightest chance for us to enter into our hopeful future but only if we are brave enough to believe in our capacity to improve our nation,” he said.
Mr Tinubu urged Nigerians to vote for Mr Buhari for a secured future.
“This is the future we must enter. This is the future the APC champions. This is future you must choose on Election Day. Vote for yourselves by voting for President Buhari,” he said.
Mr Tinubu urged Nigerians to conduct themselves peacefully before, during and after the elections to ensure a violence-free exercise.

I'm hoping you lose the grip on Lagos. I'm not Agbaje's fan but I hope he wins this time. Tinubu's grip on Lagos needs to be checked. This man has cornered so much resources of Lagos.

Can anyone tell me how much Tinubu worth in 1999 and his worth today?

Alota them are gonna be retired saturday

Atiku and Ballard know the game is up.

He should lick his wounds.

Atiku, you would not be president of Nigeria.

Let's see who will retire each other

Meanwhile
GOOD EVENING NIGERIA

*Former SGF Babachir Lawal!!!*

He was arrested by EFCC on Monday!
Remanded on Tuesday!
Charged to Court on Wednesday!
Granted bail on Wednesday!
To Join Campaign train on Thursday!

That is the end of Anti Corruption.

Hmm

This is no news.


..Atiku can only be social media and ipob president, that why he keeps winning on twitter and nairaland because his criminal supporters had more than 20 monikers each.




While Baba Buhari keeps winning all field pool conducted by reputable organisations





Sai Baba,

Nextlevel.

Tinubu is fighting with his last breath...

Why does he keep hammering "Atiku is my friend"..
- An Atiku win would raise a new crop of SW leaders.
- An Atiku win would embolden SW youths to aspire for leadership without anointing from Tinubu.

.

Tinubu is a thief and a puppet master

Sanwo olu is a puppet

Buhari is a failure

Oshiomole is a frog face thief

Fashola is a Fool

Lai Muhammad is a serial liar

Amaechi is a looter

El rufai is a terrorist

Aregbesola is a rascal

APc is an evil party

Zombies are walking dead people

Abi o. Let's retire family investment from our nation. Just imagine 2 family investors in Obiliar and Atiku investing all our money and properties into their families like they have promised to do with our NNPC? PDP, Neva again.





Despite Buhari administration earning 60% less yet he's come up with plenty projects such as

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, kaduna-abuja etc,

The production of low cost fertilizers,

Zik maoseleum

Baro inland port,

Rice mills,

Foreign reserve increase from $26b to $43b,

Construction of our express highways such as enuguonitsha, Lagos-ibadan etc.

Social policy schemes such as tradermoni, npower etc

Payment of all pensions of airline staffs that were forced to retire after the shambolic privatisation by Atiku. PDP didn't pay them in the last 16 years.

And most especially, stabilizing us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari coupled with the fall in the price of crude oil from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to keep us afloat while having many projects to his name thereby surprising Ngozi Iweala and Charles Soludo who predicted recession because jonathan looted and failed to save during the time of plentiful.

Sai Baba. PDP, Neva again

Eyah erolohun bi... But am seeing the other way round.
Let's wait n see.

The world is laughing at us. We like good economy.
We want steady and constant power supply, we want jobs, we want food on our table, we desire good infrastructure and security but at the same time could not exercise patience for a willing government that is sincerely laying the foundation for all these to happen.
They brainwashed you with "hunger in the land" slogan. They said 20million Nigerians lost jobs.
Majority of those people who they said lost their jobs were construction company workers whose contract monies were diverted and could not continue as at the time PMB took over.
With resumption of roads construction, rail construction, 2nd Niger Bridge, why are they not sincere to tell us how many Nigerians have been engaged?
They tell us bankers lost jobs, who liquidated those banks?
Did PMB or Osinbajo take loan from these banks?
Who killed Cooperative bank?
Who killed Societè Generale?
Who killed Enterprise bank?
Who killed Intercontinental? Who killed Skye bank? Some of them took loans ranging from 10billion and above and refused to pay back.
The banks folded up and you hear them shamelessly saying Buhari made Nigerians lose their jobs.
Since inception Buhari didn't sack anybody.
In fact he employed more graduates and junior level officers into the civil/public service.
He didn't owe salary.
By 28 of every month all federal workers receive salaries.
Because you are not well informed you sink their lies. They say Buhari plan to Islamize Nigeria. How possible? Even Military government cannot dare it. Nigeria is a secular State. They use our Christian leaders to brainwash us because we have no sense of history.
In 1999-2001 you recall the religious riot in kaduna.
I was in Kaduna then, many Christians were massacred. Obj was president then. Between 2000-2007 you recall the Fulani herders -farmers/locals crises in plateau State that led to declaration of state of emergency in plateau State.
Who was president then? Obj and not PMB.
Do you know that in Benue State farmer -fulani herdsmen had been at each other's throat since the military era? These kind of unhealthy political intrigues can only thrive in Nigeria where people have no sense of history or some people just want to deceive themselves.
Those who plunged us into the den of hunger, job loss, darkness, decay infrastructure, insecurity and poor education are posing as messiah, they killed our university system for their own to thrive.
It is only in Nigeria where a sitting president and his vice would approve for themselves, while in office, the licence to build universities. It is only in Nigeria where a president would abandon construction of National library and build multi billion naira presidential library in his hilltop mansion and the youths whose future is mortgaged will be clapping for them.
Resources that are meant for all were carted away yet you are here crucifying a man that is 'righting the wrongs' haba!
GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Jagaban has spoken ...all other yeye analyst and strategist should go and sit down ..the master of Nigeria politics has spoken
