Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Senator Dayo Adeyeye, national chairman of the South-West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA 2023), has said Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Lagos State governor and national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is the only southerner with great capacity to restructure Nigeria if elected president.

Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Adeyeye said Tinubu has demonstrated firm belief in True Federalism and restructuring of the country when as governor of Lagos State, he challenged the Federal Government by creating additional local governments in Lagos and also demanded that monthly allocations of local governments should be paid to states.

He said Tinubu got punished for daring the Federal Government as former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, withheld the monthly allocations to Lagos State for years before it was released by his successor, the late Umaru Yar’Adua.

While emphasizing that restructuring Nigeria needs serious political will and determination, Adeyeye said Tinubu has the capacity as President to convince Nigerians and also make the Natioanl Assembly do the needful on the restructuring of the country.

“I am not speaking for APC. I don’t want to talk about APC. When you see APC National Caretaker Chairman, ask him that question, why are you not restructuring the country as you have in your manifesto? But my own candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu that I am selling to Nigerians believes in True Federalism and restructuring”.

In 2001, when Asiwaju Tinubu went to court on the creation of local governments in Lagos, I was National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere and we backed him then. We issued statement and we wanted him to test it. He said he was challenging the position of the federal government that states cannot create local governments. He also said they have to allocate money to him. He did that then to challenge them in order to see the absurdity of what they have done”.

“The response of Obasanjo to what Tinubu did was to seize Lagos allocation for years which the late President Umaru Yar’Adua paid back. Obasanjo who believed so much in centralism and unitary form of government”.

“Tinubu was the only governor who did that in Nigeria then. So, a man who could, with great courage challenge the system has demonstrated that he believes in true federalism. He has shown genuine interest in it and nobody needs to preach it to him. He himself embodies the struggle for that”.

So, by the grace of God, if he becomes president, he will restructure the country. I believe that he has the political capacity to convince people all over the country and say ‘gentlemen, let’s reason together on this issue and let’s get it done’.

“I believe if there is any person in the South who can get things like this done, he is the only one. Others will get there and may not even know what to do. He has the capacity to get the National Assembly to enact necessary constitutional amendments that will give us true federalism in this country”.

These idiots don start again. We never finish with Buhari una don start another one.

Make una no mind this man oooo
He is Tinubu's paid campaign manager.
He is just doing what he's paid to do.

Only?

That's ridiculous! There are a thousand and one competent persons in the South that are as qualified as Mr. Tinubu for the plum job.

This person may unwittingly be doing more damages to the chances of his principal.

Are these the sort of ass-licking aides we should be expecting?

Yes oo only Tinubu can make Nigeria great again youths will definitely have say in his government.

This one that wants to employ 30 million people into security outfits and feed them with cassava! I beg don't finish me with laughter this afternoon. Tinubu's candidace is DOA (Dead on arrival) He can't even carry the whole SW, let alone any other region. He should go and sit and rest.

This the kind of nonsense I dont want to hear

Naija tire person... D person your campaigning for

Has not said anything about the security situation in the country...

Has not given any intention about running

So why are pushing someone for us, saying he's the only person in the FULL SOUTH that can restructure Nigeria.


The party you come from has not done anything reasonable to aid restructuring...

Besides I can think of Gov. Akeredolu who is more qualified to talk on restructuring of the country than your man.

Adeyeye couldn't even say it with confidence.

Shege

Ofcourse, He will restructure Nigeria because future Nigeria will be South West, Edo state and Northern Nigeria.

Well... I am not surprised. As the name implies - the man yeye like Adeyeye

TINUBU is the man for the job.
Hate him or not.

The North has the majority of seats in the National Assembly and will never agree to restructure Nigeria. That is why we must leave them behind and fly the SOUTH NIGERIA flag where the South-West, South-East, Niger-Delta and Middle-Belt can shine.

If the president is serious, who are the lawmakers to disagree? do you know how powerful Nigeria' s president is?

Unfortunately masses will vote for Tinubu en masse, Nigeria masses are in love with their oppressors.

They are used to being oppressed by the oppressor and you will see them smiling while they are singing their ever green song “E go beta” .

Which una way ? Abegi stop that bragging, isn’t the same masses that are used to suffering and smiling lifestyle ?

They will vote for Tinubu as if their lives depend on him, and continue their suffering lifestyle
