A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Oyo State, Chief Jumoke Akinjide, has berated the presidential candidate of the All Peoples Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing the 70-year-old of being selfish and insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory said Tinubu is only interested in his mandate and not the suffering of Nigerians.

Akinjide said this on Saturday when she was featured on a Lagelu FM 96.7 programme, ‘Bose n lo’, anchored by Temitayo Oyeladun and monitored online by the PUNCH.

While commenting on Tinubu’s visit to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Akinjide said the visit is a sign that the APC presidential candidate has abandoned the governorship candidate of his party in the state, Sen. Teslim Folarin.

She said, “Tinubu is a National leader of the APC but didn’t complain about the suffering of Nigerians in almost eight years (of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)’s regime) but he’s only complaining now because his party’s policies are threatening his ambition.

“Tinubu came to Ibadan and visited Governor Seyi Makinde, heaping praises on him and acknowledging the achievement of the party (PDP) in the state. He got to Mapo Hall and just handed the flag to the party standard-bearer without a word of campaign for himself or the gubernatorial candidate of the party.”

Akinjide said that was a sign Tinubu has subtly abandoned the candidate of his party and supported the candidate of the PDP.

She also lamented Tinubu’s snub of the Olubadan-in-Council, who waited all day in expectation of welcoming him.

“They (Tinubu and other APC chieftains) came to the state, went to the governor, to Mapo, then went to meet with some Obas, here in Ibadan and went straight to the airport without visiting His Imperial Majesty, the Olubadan of Ibadan. That’s very bad. Even Presidents won’t do that” Akinjide lamented.

Responding to Akinjide’s allegations, a former deputy governor of the state, Engr Rauf Olaniyan, who also featured on the Lagelu FM programme, said the allegations are flimsy and that the ruling party in the state is more fragmented.

“If they deceive you don’t deceive yourself. Have you ever seen Akinjide follow Seyi to any campaign ground,” Olaniyan asked.

In response to allegations that Tinubu didn’t say a word at Mapo Hall, Olaniyan said, “Tinubu would have cried in appreciation of the reception he received in Oyo State if he made to speak. What more would you want him to say? The crowd was reassuring enough beyond words. Asiwaju had nothing more to say.” Olaniyan was the deputy governor to Engr Seyi Makinde but was impeached by the Oyo State House of Assembly.

I agree with her.


Tinubu never spoke about all happenings in the South West since all this while. Why now is he crying like a dieing kicking horse?


He must have been on over dose of 'bla-ba-blu- syrup

Tinubu has made more gaffes than any presidential candidate since the history of Nigeria, yet even the so called intelligent ones amongst his supporters are hell bent on voting for him.

Tinubu brought Buhari into power, supported and defended all his policies and even vowed to continue from where Buhari stopped. The simple question is what kind of legacy is Buhari leaving behind that tinubu wants to continue from, is it hunger, massive corruption, killings, total disregard for the rule of law...what exactly is Buhari leaving behind?

Tinubu isn't medically unfit to govern this country. Nigeria needs a vibrant president, we're still recovering from Buhari's tourism at the expense of our resources, we don't need another tourist president.

What Tinubu owes Nigerians is an apology for bringing someone like Buhari and failing to fulfill their campaign promises of 2015.

My dear yourba brothers, if you allow tribalism cloud your better judgement and make a wrong choice next week, it's everyone who would suffer together. Tinubu is wealthy, his kids are wealthy, his thugs are wealthy, everyone around him has made it in life.

Next week's election should strictly be about your own future. Peter Obi has promised to explore the vast land of the North, an investment in agriculture means a sharp reduction in prices of food, an investment in industries means jobs for the youth, with the power problem solved, even a jambite can open a barber's shop and use it to sustain himself pending when he'll gain admission.

Vote for someone who's administration would benefit you and your family not someone from your tribe. The north that were screaming sai baba and voted massively for Buhari because he's one of them, aren't they suffering as well?

Please let'set's get it right this time.

Jumoke Akinjide?

Is that not the Ex Super Falcons striker that failed to score for Nigeria.



Jumoke George we know. Never heard of the Akinjide version

I must appreciate Chief Jumoke Akinjide for speaking up!

Tinubu that cannot take care of himself is looking to take care of 200 million people.

No be JuJu be that? 😌😌😌

Bulaba!

Tinubu for president

U wan use tinubu trend

Tinubu is not fit to be President

She has the right to say anything, that's her own opinion and I respect it.

It's obvious to everyone that Tinubu is only contesting the presidency for selfish reason (Emilokan). Most right thinking Nigerians are not planning to vote for him but have decided to take PETER OBI and DATTI to Aso rock. We can no longer play with our future and that of generations yet unborn.

Where are the cows?

You dey mind politicians

We know

We know this now. All these tinupoo urchins that is hellbent on installing a mafia lord will never succeed. How can a party campaign against its own and expect to come out victorious. Never will it happen

Shut up jare..all of your are the same , all of you are useless.. all Nigerian politicians...

Wailing ...... you go wail tire

Fxxk Agbado
Tinubu can never be Nigeria’s president !!!!!
Atiku is already powering down !
Today i saw videos of Atiku supporters begging people to vote PDP for governorship and other positions in Lagos because they know presidency is for Peter Obi.

Failed politician!

PDP ti lule

Asiwaju Jagaban Tinubu has paid his dues as the most resilient, pragmatic, consistent and versatile politician in Nigeria politics of today!

Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu would win the Presidential election by a landslide!

Renewed Hope 2023!

BATified 2023!

Okay, who are you voting for?

Like for TINUBU
Share for OBI

Vote wisely

Bxbd

Dont mind them, the same guy that asked where are the cows is now pretending to be concerned about the plights of Nigerians.

Madam, you are not any better than any of those.
Selfish politicians....make earthquake swallow all of u na ...

But they were all up in arms when they thought Obi snubbed the palace of the Oba of Lagos intentionally, party of hypocrites!

The way some Nigerians re supporting Tinubu for no reasons. Without having gained nothing from him and may never gain from him shows that some Nigerians shouldn't be helped

Berates not barates

A useless retired olosho.

She can say whatever she likes now, ọmọ ale jatijati.

Whether she likes it or not, she'll soon start hanging this picture in her office.

Good, the man olaniyan the impeached wailing baby man. No wonder yhu were impeached, double face human who have no interest in the warfare of the people but his own pocket.

I don't know why any body that calls himself human will be rooting for Tinubu to become president, what nonsense.

Let's tell ourselves the truth for once, that man is mentally sick and can't pilot the affair of this nation.

Anyway, God is the true King maker, He will hear our prayers and do justice. Evil will not rule this nation again, enough is enough. Don't forget only the living rule.

If yhu are unstoppable by human, yhu cannot be unstoppable for God.

Emefeile is still Typing..............
Relax??
