A presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu, has taken a swipe at Nigerian leaders, saying he would tackle the challenges they have failed to address if he becomes the president.

Speaking in Lagos on Saturday while addressing hundreds of young people who gathered to declare their support for his ambition, Mr Tinubu said “we feel your anger when you are angry. I don’t blame you, the promises of the past have failed to realise that you build a future from the onset, from the kindergarten. We cannot continue the lamentation of the past.”

In his speech, which video was seen by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Tinubu did not distinguish between the government of incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari and that of Mr Buhari’s predecessors.

Mr Tinubu and Mr Buhari are of the same party, APC, and the aspirant has sought the support of the president for his ambition.

What Tinubu Said
Mr Tinubu said that the promises of a better Nigeria by the past administrations have not been attained. He encouraged the youth to forgo the pains of such failed promises.

President Buhari promised three main things when he was elected: improvements in security, anti-corruption and the economy.

While Nigeria was battling a Boko Haram insurgency in Northern Nigeria before Mr Buhari was sworn in, killings and kidnappings by various groups across the country have become the norm under the president.

The economy has also gotten worse with inflation reaching unprecedented levels while the president has been repeatedly criticised for undermining his own anti-corruption efforts.

It was not only in the area of failed promises that Mr Tinubu took a swipe at Mr Buhari and other former presidents, the former Lagos governor also took a direct but veiled swipe at Mr Buhari for referring to young Nigerians as lazy.

“We cannot continue with excuses or NEPA failure. No. No nation can make rapid development without electricity. Give us that and if we cannot be successful, then you can abuse us. But you cannot give us erratic electricity that is undependable and then blame us again that we are lazy,” the APC leader said.

“No. We have enough gas to fire up our electricity. We can supply the rest of Europe with gas and we can make money.”

Mr Tinubu presented himself as the best candidate that deserves the support of Nigerians and urged the youth to forget the failure of the past and obtain their PVCs ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Again, Tinubu makes false PVC claim

Despite an earlier rebuttal by the electoral commission, INEC, of Mr Tinubu’s earlier claim that voter cards, PVCs, expire, the aspirant repeated the claim on Saturday.

PREMIUM TIMES reported the earlier claim by the former governor while addressing some participants at the APC’s Women Conference in Abuja in January. On Saturday, Mr Tinubu repeated the claim.

“If you have no PVC, if you have no revalidation of that PVC, you don’t know whether it has expired. Don’t forget that there is an expiring date, even if you have cash.

“So, go and revalidate the card. Those of you who have not registered must go there. You can’t be part of 1.4 billion people on Instagram and have no card for God’s sake,” he said before referencing the irregular power supply.

Selling his candidacy to his audience, he encouraged the youth to vote for him in the coming APC primaries so he can replicate his performance as a former Lagos governor across the country.

“When I started, we used to pick dead bodies on the street. Today, Lagos is one of the cleanest of progressives states. We deserve your clap,” he said.

“Some of you would not have been able to sit for WAEC if not for the payment by our government. You were beneficiaries. Clap for that and you must vote.

“If you vote for that, you can create the path for free education at the university level. We can build a new Nigeria where prosperity will not be isolated or limited to the family of the poor(rich),” he said.

Since his tenure ended in 2007 as governor of Lagos State, Mr Tinubu has played a dominant role in who manages the affairs of the state. His anointed candidates have always won elections as governors of Lagos, Nigeria’s richest and arguably most-populous state.

Tinubu and Buhari
It is not clear how Mr Tinubu’s snide remarks at President Buhari will affect the relationship between the two men.

Mr Tinubu played a major role in Mr Buhari’s electoral victories in 2015 and 2019. Before their alliance in the build-up to the 2015 election, Mr Buhari had contested and lost three consecutive presidential elections: 2003, 2007 and 2011.

Mr Buhari has not stated whether or not he would support the ex-Lagos governor for the 2023 presidential election.

Apart from Mr Tinubu, other aspirants seeking to be the presidential candidate of the APC for next year’s election include Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi, Transportation minister Rotimi Amaechi and Labour minister Chris Ngige.

At least two of the aspirants, Messrs Osinbajo and Fayemi, were allies of Mr Tinubu who had worked with him directly in the past. Whoever emerges the APC candidate is expected to be the frontrunner in the presidential election but will face a stiff challenge from opposition parties, particularly the PDP.

Good he is coming out of his shell. Though, he criticized past administrations generally.
There is no way, we will take anyone that tell us he continue Buhari's legacy serious
First time I'm listening Tinubu's speech, even though it is not very impressive, its far better than what Buhari have been ordering us.
The brighter side of 2023 is that even, the worst of the candidate is still better than Buhari

Thiefnibu is a downgrade on Buhari and thought there could never be a downgrade.

Mr. Bullion Vans team should allow him speak to a live Tv/Radio to elaborate more on his plans for the country let Nigerians see wonders

The desperado is even planning to contest under SDP and that’s why he has suddenly found his voice.

It seems Mr Tinubu has started the dirty fight he promised the presidency.

I'm one of Buhari's staunch supporters but with all sincerity, after the Buhari's Presidential experiment I won't vote for any aged or frail-looking aspirant no matter the claim of his competence & capacity.

The greatest undoing of PMB is his age/health, and the fact that he has been out of touch with government. These are equally militating factors against Mr Tinubu candidature that I won't want to repeat itself.

Politics is entirely different from governance.

Sane people know this unforgivable reality. "...Muhammadu Buhari, Yemi Osinbajo, and Bola Tinubu represent a triumvirate. They reinforce, reflect, and inflect each other. Both Tinubu and Osinbajo have been important props to Buhari’s ongoing disastrous regime of ungovernance.

Without them, Buhari won’t be president. They also helped plant, grow, & fertilize Buhari’s autocracy and monstrous incompetence every damn step of the way.” It’s distressing that even otherwise clearsighted people who recognize that the APC is a clear and present danger to Nigeria.

Tinubu and his political creation, Osinbajo, are core constituents of the conscienceless gang of villains that got us to where we are now are seduced by the rhetoric of inevitability of APC’s self-succession.

Let’s not allow APC to propagandize us into accepting that their internal politics is our national politics. We should instead be asking them to account for the incalculable injuries they’ve collectively inflicted on our economy, freedoms, national emotions, and for reversing whatever little progress we were making before they took over...."

It is time for politics again. No sane person should be deceived. A foister of a catastrophe can never be the solution to the same catastrophe. Tinubu is a very wicked man.

I see desperation here, he kept quiet for over seven years of maladministration and killings, now he's trying to look good before Nigerians but he can't detach himself from this government of buhari

Mr Tinubu said that the promises of a better Nigeria by the past administrations have not been attained. He encouraged the youth to forgo the pains of such failed promises.

See desperation. So this bullion vans crook truly knew the past govts including the unparalleled failure he foist for 7 years is a disaster but kept quiet till now? E no go better for you. The youth are to be blamed because they are so gullible with retrograde amnesia.

I beg to disagree, Buhari is the worst of all

Silence is key

Suddenly he has found his voice. The desperation is real.

Yoruba Muslims deceived you with Buhari , pls don't allow them to deceive you again with Tinubu, reject anything Tinubu

He speaking like someone that back from Ukraine to contest election, he is trying yo distance himself from Buhari failure, i don't how possible that can be,his followers are yet to understand the change in the game, so they continue to sing Buhari praises without knowing that the game have changed.

Let be honest with ourselves, no APC member can openly criticize his party leader like president. To me, Tinubu statement is just a remark and not necessarily a criticism.

Besides, people are always talking about bullion Vans but they fail to ask who send him the bullion Vans. All of them are corrupt.

For someone that said he has not cum to step on buhari toes

He has already criticized Buhari statement of youths been lazy

He has criticised Buhari blaming of past government

He has criticised Buhari handling of power that have kept youth unemployed

He has criticised Buhari handling of security

He has even exaggerated the number of deaths in the train attacks

He has suddenly realised Buhari would cut him to size in APC and is going all out to appear on the side of the people, I believe he has his SDP agenda handy

West1side:
An article with a verifiable source is what you are masturbating on like this. As a Nairalander how many years will it take your dead brain to verify the source of news before believing it. Even known media outlets issue rebuttals.

West1side, you said in the other thread that Tinubu wailing on Buhari is not true.

Come and listen to Lagos Jagaban blasting Buhari live in Lagos.

Master of bullion van sniffing chicago druggie have spoken. Taking shots at poo'hari behind his back and not even balls enough. Coward

Where are the cowwwwsss

Agbero oshi

It shall never be well with poo'hari and anyone that fostered this disaster on nigerians. Insha allah

I think asiwaju should take it easy, I know it's obvious that buhari is not supporting asiwaju, but he should remember one yoruba adage that says, okun wa ruru ka wa ruru, it literally means you don't destroy what you built,my little take.

A sensible presidential candidate will use all the errors under this Buhari administration to campaign against APC. Spell out their failures in front of the whole world.

But no opposition dare do that, there's no even a credible opposition, just wailers without proper campaign strategies.

It's a pity we still have to choose from these evil politicians to lead us.

Under normal circumstances, Tinubu, Osinbajo, Atiku, Saraki, Amaechi and other present aspirant aren't suppose to declare for presidency.

Your criticism like my siggy is empty. It holds no water.

It comes at a time too late and pretty much not needed.

Tilumbu Sir, kindly remove yourself and your long life abi na age long ambition from the equation.

You can never become the President of this country.

Lol
Good morning mr Sangodele Lamidi

Where are the cows has finally found his voice!

You wont smell that seat!

It will be your harbinger of doom!

You will retire with your ill-gotten wealth and NEVER achieve your ambition!

Because you are not going because of Nigerians but because of your selfish ambition

Damnnnn!!!! Funniest thing; This nincompoop was even the one that endorsed that disaster of a president..

Vv

Was he not part of those promises ?

We were all here when he was shouting buhari will do this will do that in 2015.


Nigerians should have learnt their lesson by now

Now that it is clear where Buhari stands Tinubu can knock this administration all he wants. It was Buhari and Osinbajo. All I could do is advise.

Tinubu can strategically extricate himself from this disaster of an admin.

You cannot run for president on continuity or celebration of this disastrous administration

The rofo rofo has begun

Tinubu single handedly and selfishly brought this disaster of a government upon us!

He dosn't deserve our votes!

This is Politics. How should he campaign

poor campaigns speech from a lagos state president. Talking as if he is on weed

The same Buhari you openly called the savior we all needed in 2104/2015 presidential campaign? Baba go and sleep, there’s no campaign promise any of you can say that hasn’t been said before a hundred times. Bunch of idiots parading themselves as leaders. It’s just a shame that we cannot get any sensible person to vote next year.
