Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Junaid Mohammed, elders statesman and Second Republic federal lawmaker on Wednesday said last week’s attacks on the investments of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Lagos State governor and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests were politically motivated.

Speaking in an interview with INDEPENDENT, Junaid said as a citizen of Nigeria who has contributed in no small measures to national development, Tinubu has a right to aspire for the highest office of the land and no amount of sponsored attacks can deny him that right.

He said: “First and foremost, I condemn in its entirety the motivation or the reason for the people who carried out the attacks. No matter what one’s attitude towards Tinubu, one cannot justify the attacks on him verbally, attacks on his properties physically and I believe that it is not a crime to be in politics".

“Tinubu has done a lot for Lagos in terms of developments and he has also done a lot for the South-West. Even those who are not from his ethnic group cannot deny the fact that there is a difference in the development in Lagos before the Tinubu era and after his era. I am not a member of APC but the fact of the matter is, there is nothing wrong in Tinubu aspiring to be anything".

“As far as I am concerned, it is not a crime to want to aspire to be the President of this country or occupy any elective office. It is also a shame that those who have nothing to offer are now targeting people who have done a lot for the country. TVC is a private broadcasting channel; nobody is forced to watch TVC. Clearly, the whole attack is purely politically motivated".

“Whether it is motivated against Tinubu’s person or his ambition for the presidency in 2023, the fact of the matter is, Tinubu like any other person is entitled to try his luck and throw his hat into the ring because as a Nigerian, he has absolute right to do so.

“That right is undiminished by whatever anybody will say or they will do. No amount of attacks can deny him that right to aspire for the highest office in the land.”

It really doesn't take much to make Nigerian politicians run mad o. Only the smell of money fit do the work.

He will win the election only if they kill all the youths of Nigeria.

They will win if they Kill all of us that protested for 12days.

2023 is the year for the youths. Those old men should be getting ready to hand over the baton. It is long overdue!

Thanks Mallam Alhaji Junaid

It is foolishness to be hating and demarketing someone candidate instead of promoting your own

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.




Though I prefers Prof. Osinbajo.


Adeshina should have decamp to APC (man is not smart)

Buhari needed just 15 million votes to win which he got in NorthEast, NorthWest, North Central and SouthWest, he went on to mock inconsequential 5%ters

As we speak Tinubu is a National politician with allies in the North and South and he is a major force to reckon with in 2023

.

It is very easy for anyone to contest.Winning however is a different ball game entirely

The fact that this unrepentant kleptomaniac is seriously considering to run for the presidency of the most populous black nation on earth is noxiously revolting that one starts to wonder whether we are really living in one huge "zoological shythole"!? President of who? Is this a Mafia republic or what

Tinubu is not Buhari

He will still fail woefully, at least his people have come to their senses and realize that he's a fraud who only cares about himself, he sacrificed his people and ran away to France and sent the ignorant Sherlock Holmes to clean up his mess, useless frog-eyed coward.

cktheluckyman:

Lol, sure! Tinubu got Buhari in office after 4th attempt

Ipob! Una hear?

Story. Your point was valid few weeks ago. Things has changed except the youths refuse to take advantage of this golden opportunity

Unfortunately only Ibo youths and Ipobians believe all this you typed

Other people now see clearly

He has the right to contest and the youth has the right to their vote. Let him come and win let me see

Lol
Today his presidency and his legacy have become so totally tarnished that there is a very big prospect of him and his main principals spending some "quality time" in the Hague.... He came in as the Perfect Messiah! He's going out as the biggest failure of a president in Nigerias history! No thanks to the vibrant international campaign of the so-called "utterly inconsequential 5%"...

no problem n.a. God get future!

Tinubu can only rule in Lagos

Rugaria:

You clearly don't know anything about Nigerian Politics lol

Jonathan faced far worse stiffer opposition than Buhari and he came out clean, same as Babangida and many more.... Buhari would come out an hero to people because that's politics, you just have to wait and see

Oh.. and ICC isn't a Biafra propaganda court, they work on facts and petition not hear say Jubril El Sudan stupid talks

Keep consoling yourself... Flight ban loading... Next? Some of his principal officers will be snatched off the streets once they step out of Africa... Knowing how Nigerian government officials love their London homes and Dubai joints, it's only a matter of time before some officials start voting with their feet... He's a drowning man....

A sign that the endsars protest was a waste. They now know that even if the youth tries to take power in 2023, they will rig it and just send the army to shoot some people that's all. Others will hide and matter don settle. Soro soke generation my ass. I pity those that die. If they had known, they for just stay home that day. Mumu youth. Lack consistency

Sunnycliff:

Lagos and entire Ibo land as a President

Hope you have your PVC

Sunnycliff:

no wonder that state is the most developed and richest in Nigeria

The jagaban himself....

Tinubu will win the election come 2023...and he will have no problem winning...



Thread seen...

Baby factory people can drink sniper

Dirty politicians whose actions demarketed Nigeria should have nothing to do with the presidency!

Upon all the backlash, tinubu seems to be the only formidable candidate from APC come 2023

Sunnycliff:
After he has killed lekki protesters and fighting peaceful protesters with Mc oluomo and nurtw guys

So it's no longer Army but MC Oluomo that private citizen Mr Tinubu ordered?!

Ibo people sef?! You are just campaigning for him without knowing
