Presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has denied attacking President Muhammadu Buhari over the fuel and new naira scarcity.

The Director, Media & Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement, explained that the Opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP) working in cahoots with fifth columnists were the ones bent on inflicting avoidable pains on hapless Nigerians to achieve a political end.

Tinubu knocked the opposition PDP and the Atiku camp for issuing a knee-jerk response, derailing from the issues, distorting his views at the Abeokuta rally, to create a wedge between him and President Muhammadu Buhari.

He added, “When the guilty are afraid of being uncovered, they try to push back with red-herring.”

The statement reads, “For the records, Asiwaju Tinubu during APC campaign rally at Abeokuta on Wednesday, in his statement, did not mention, blame or accuse President Muhammadu Buhari for the current challenges in the country.

“Asiwaju Tinubu was only adverting the government’s attention to the sabotage being carried out by some Fifth Columnists in the system, possibly working in cahoots with the PDP.

“The CBN officials, including Governor Godwin Emefiele, have said many times that enough new Naira notes have been supplied to the banks, yet our people complain that they have not been able to get the new notes.

“In recent days, many ATMs are either not working or when working they are dispensing the old notes, just a few days to the January 31 deadline.

“Similarly, Asiwaju Tinubu is aware of the salutary efforts by President Buhari to end the fuel queues, by chairing a 14-man panel. Yet the queues and agony continue.

“For a presidential candidate, who cares about the suffering of our people, he has a duty to warn government that its efforts to make life better for Nigerians are being sabotaged on several fronts.

“Our presidential candidate only re-echoed what is well known and acknowledged, even by President Buhari himself at different fora: That there are Fifth Columnists in and outside of government who often throw spanners in the works against good intentions and programmes of the government.

“How does an advisory genuinely made by Asiwaju Tinubu to protect and create goodwill for the government of his party become an attack? It can only be so in the jaundiced view of the PDP.

“It is in this light we found amusing the directionless Atiku Campaign’s bagful of mischief in their hurriedly put together press statement meant to gain shameful mileage from the suffering of Nigerians.

“PDP and Atiku should remember not to get high on their own smoke. No political blackmail and an attempt to create a conflict between Tinubu and his long-term ally, President Muhammadu Buhari can succeed.

“We have bad news for Atiku and his handlers: their latest mischief is therefore doomed to fail.

“The Atiku rudderless campaign, always seeking cheap shots and easy ways has again woefully attempted to make a mountain out of a molehill from the comments made by Asiwaju Tinubu in Abeokuta.

“As a patriotic and compassionate leader, Asiwaju Tinubu will not stomach seeing ordinary Nigerians being made to face excessive difficulties over mundane issues due to activities of petrol and currency hoarders.

“As a proud leader of the APC, Asiwaju Tinubu would not also look indifferent as his party and the government get dirtied with black brush at a critical time like this, whether he is a candidate or not.

‘Atiku camp’s hasty move to mine political capital out of the clearly difficult situation betrays his campaign’s possible connivance, due to its desperation.

“As Asiwaju said in Abeokuta, these orchestrated hardships will not stop his impending victory come 25 February. Nigerians shall surely vote for a party that is working to solve all the problems and mess created by the PDP for which their presidential candidate was an integral part in the, largely, 16 unproductive years they spent in government.

“Atiku and his team can continue their indulgence in fake news and twisted narratives, they cannot change the minds of majority of Nigerians who have long rejected the PDP and Atiku, after their 16 wasted years in power.”

I never knew much about Tinubu untill recently when people from a particular region always say derogatory things about him.
I always notice they dodge the facts and attack him instead.
Then i did my personal research about all the top contenders and i realised Tinubu is the best.
No matter what anybody says about him, i won't change my mind.
Though, Buhari is evil, i'm not voting APC but Tinubu.

If tinubu is the best for you, then you are a dedicated urchin.

The genesis of helter skelter

You don't know more than that? Anything else?

If obi is the best for you, then you are a dedicated fruadster, member of IPOB and UNKNOWN GUN MEN

As usual! Say it then deny then counter-deny then the viscious cycle continues.

So who did he say Nigerians should vote out with their PVC? Who are those that implemented the new naira notes? Who is the Minister of Petroleum?

Thïefnubu cannot fool all the people all the time.

We all know that Buhari, who doubles as the minister of petroleum was his target .

When he said

"We will take back our Government from them"

That alone is an insult to Buhari

So is Thïefnubu saying that Buhari is not in charge of the government that he wants to take back ?


The plain truth is this ;

Thïefnubu is very well aware that the Presidency is not interested in his Emi Lokan reggae

And that he would lose the upcoming General Elections, if things are done on a level playing field.

Hence his recent Rabble Rousing in Abeokuta Ogun State.
