Presidential Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has mocked his counterpart in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, describing him as battle weary even before the elections.
Noting that Atiku is now showing signs of frustration, Tinubu advised the former vice president to throw in the towel in order to save face and avoid imminent, disgraceful defeat at the polls.

Tinubu gave the charge on Monday in Abuja in a statement issued on his behalf by the Director of Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson of his Presidential Campaign Council PCC, Barr. Festus Keyamo SAN.

Keyamo who is also the Minister of State, Labour and Employment was reacting to comments by Atiku that Tinubu never developed Lagos as governor.

He said “at the scandalously scanty PDP campaign rally today in Lagos State, the candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar decided to take the ignoble path of bare-faced lies by telling the people of Lagos State that the APC candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not develop Lagos State, but rather the Federal Government did”.
Keyamo reminded Atiku that despite conspiring to seize the funds of the people of Lagos State as Vice-President of Nigeria, “Tinubu conquered that handicap
by performing wonders as Governor and subsequently as leader of the ruling party of Lagos State”.

He said in more volatile climes, “the people of Lagos State would not have allowed Atiku Abubakar to step on the soil of Lagos State because of that ignoble role his government played to attempt to destroy Lagos, but thanks to Asiwaju, today Lagos is a peaceful place and a home for all, hence he could still come to Lagos to spew such lies to the people of Lagos State”.

“Let us remind Atiku Abubakar that after the Federal Government exited Lagos after the Orkar coup of 1990, the Federal Government left the infrastructure in Lagos to deteriorate whilst concentrating on developing Abuja. It was after Asiwaju assumed office in 1999 that he began to revive and rebuild the infrastructure in Lagos State. A clear example is the Bar Beach the FG could not contain in all their years in Lagos State. It was during the tenure of Tinubu that the idea for the Eko Atlantic was conceived and planned and the continuation of the project proceeded unhindered under Fashola who has himself acknowledged the making of it to Tinubu.

“Others are the various high-calibre roads constructed by Tinubu like the Kudirat Abiola Road; Awolowo Road, Ikoyi; Akin Adesola Rd, VI; Adeola Odeku Rd, VI; Agege Motor Road; Ikotun-Igando Rd; Yaba-Itire-Lawanson-Ojuelegba Rd; LASU-IBA Rd; Ajah-Badore Rd; Oba Sekumade Rd, Ikorodu; Bourdillon-Gerald Rd; Lekki Expressway; Adetokunbo Ademola Rd, etc.

“Agencies like LAWMA, HIGHWAY MANAGERS, LASTMA, KAI, CBD, LAGBUS, LASEPA, LASAMBUS etc were all launched to develop different sectors. These are verifiable facts.
“It is obvious Atiku Abubakar and the PDP have their backs against the wall with the rebellion to and shunning of his campaign by key Governors and stakeholders in his party that has made him battle weary. Atiku Abubakar is already showing signs of frustration.

“We advise Atiku Abubakar to pack up his campaign to save his face rather than face the imminent disgrace at the polls”, he added.

PrinceOfLagos:
This thrash can only come from a drug peddling criminal from Osun state , a monumental disgrace and a Lagos owner wannabe

This presidential election has exposed Tinubu to be an ordinary regional politician who only depends on his stolen wealth, rigging, snatching of ballot box and blackmail to win election in Lagos .

Tinubu cannot win in any free and fair election. Buhari knows this and that was why he signed the new electoral bill into law and we've all seen how Tinubu cousin governor in Osun state , Gboyega Oyetola lost disgracefully to Ademola Adeleke of PDP in the governorship election.

I want to thank President Muhammadu Buhari once again for re-echoing to Nigerians that he won't interfer in the presidential election and that the BVA and electronic transmission of results has come to stay. LET'S MEET AT THE POLL

Tinubu is miles ahead of Atiku and Peteru Hoebee I swear. This is a battle ready candidate.

femisplash:
Honestly, nobody noticed Atiku was in Lagos yesterday. It was a big embarrassment that media houses were not trending Atiku's rally in Lagos. Every media eyes was on Tinubu in far away London. No wonder, Tinubu said he is the most marketable candidate of them all and I couldn't agree less.

All these Tinubu built Lagos people, going by what federal government did in Lagos before since it was the capital of Nigeria, Lagos is supposed to be as fine or finer than dubai, so all the Tinubu built Lagos people here are pictures as evidence from 1960 and 1970 compared to Dubai around the same period, at that time Tinubu was still known Yekini Amoda Ogunlere.

Please compare the pictures of Lagos in 1960/70 to Dubai as desert in 1960 and 2021 - Tinubu did not build Lagos, Lagos built Tinubu

In case you don't know, Dubai is an emirate kingdom with a vast oil resources of itself which are well managed. While Lagos State is just a state collecting monthly allocation from an highly incompetent and corruption ridden Nigerian government.

So comparing the two is inappropriate.

And as for Tinubu, before his governance, Lagos was a sprawling metropolis, unplanned and dirty. He started the order, the city wide landscaping and the exceptional infrastructural developmental strides that are now beautifying the state.

So kudos to him, and to the other governors he mentored to rule the state.
