Reacting to Tinubu’s allegation that the current fuel and naira scarcity was artificially created to sabotage his victory at forthcoming presidential poll,
“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,” he noted.
“When the guilty are afraid of being uncovered, they try to push back with red-herring. For the records, Asiwaju Tinubu during the 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. Tinubu also accused the PDP of sabotaging fuel supply in the country to blackmail the federal government for illicit political advantage.
“They asked him, you are so rich, where did you get your money from, and he said from doing transport business. He didn’t know that was an offence. The only thing you are allowed to do as a civil servant is farming,” he stated. Spokesperson of the campaign team, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that it is strange that Tinubu wants the world to believe that his caustic remarks against Buhari where intended for Atiku and the PDP when neither Atiku nor PDP is involved in the monetary policies or the failure to arrest the horrifically unending fuel crisis.
“It is noteworthy that having come to the conclusion, by himself, that he does not enjoy the support of President Buhari, having realized that his campaign is now falling apart with its leaders leaving in droves given his manifest rejection by Nigerians, Asiwaju Tinubu now seeks to blackmail the President and incite his followers to violence, with the view of truncating the electoral process and blaming it on President Buhari.
Atiku’s special assistant on Public Communications, Phrank Shaibu, said Tinubu’s outburst at the APC rally in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Wednesday January 26, 2023, was a prelude to the violence the Lagos godfather was planning.
