The Lagos State House of Assembly has questioned the presidency’s silence in the wake of the recent rift between Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.

Speaking at the House’s plenary, Chairman, House Committee on Information and Strategy, Tunde Braimoh, drummed up support for Tinubu, putting into consideration the years of sacrifice and financial commitments he gave to the emergence of the party.

The lawmaker and his colleagues said that nobody can whittle down the political power and influence of the National Leader of the APC.
They noted that an insult to the personality of Tinubu was synonymous to insulting the entire Yoruba race, especially given the leadership role he (Tinubu) has played in the unification of the Yoruba nation.
“The situation does not speak well for the internal democracy of our party and efforts must be made by stakeholders to arrive at a quick resolution.
“To achieve this, we call on the party’s leadership to call the executives to order with a view to ensuring that adequate respect and honour is given to party leaders, including Asiwaju Tinubu,” Braimoh said.

The Deputy Majority Leader, Muyiwa Jimoh, noted that the “ongoing fight is not just against Tinubu, but against vision and posterity”. He added that “Asiwaju Tinubu is too big a personality for anybody to toy with”.
Speaker Mudashiru Obasa argued that rather than be seen as apathetic to the development, President Muhammadu Buhari should play the role of a father and unite everybody.

“The signal coming from the presidency is not good enough. Appointments have been made without Tinubu’s knowledge and major decisions have been made without adequate consideration given for his view and opinion. We believe this is not good enough and it is a sign of disrespect for a personality like Tinubu, whose contributions to the consummation of APC in Nigeria can never be brushed aside,” Obasa said.

These people are just not serious and simply deluded.

So because Tinubu helped Buhari get elected, Tinubu must be consulted and pleaded with before appointments of national interests are made

How petty can our conquered brothers get

Tremor007:
Foolish lawmaker with fufu for brain so you expect a megalomaniac Buhari to consult a criminal-minded Tinubu before taking decisions? You go wait tire. Tinubu will soon be forgotten by the time the Dictator-in-Chief is through with him.

PassingShot:
Those of us in support of the "dictator" are more than you losers wailing day and night.

We love PMB. Deal with it!

undecidedYoruba:
Imagine how quick they are to refer to the local champion as the father of Nigerian politics.

They are making it appear as if Tinubu single-handedly put Buhari in Aso rock.
