JUST IN: “I won’t govern Nigeria from Dubai” – Tinubu hits Atiku again via politicsngr
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Bola Tinubu, on Sunday afternoon in Kano, has yet again taken a subtle swipe at the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, saying that he will not run the country from Dubai if elected in 2023.The former Lagos State governor mocked Atiku pledging that he would not be a part-time president that would spend 50 per cent of his time ruling the country from Dubai.
This was contained in a statement released in Abuja by Tinubu’s Media Officer, Tunde Rahman, shortly after his interactive session with members of the popular Tijjaniyyah sect in Kano. The statement partly read, “I won’t be a part-time President who will share time between living in Dubai and Nigeria. I would concentrate attention and energy on confronting and surmounting Nigeria’s pressing challenges.”
Endorsing Tinubu’s ambition on Sunday, the Tijjaniyyah sect demanded that his presidency should ensure inclusion of their members in cabinet and other government appointments, reduction in Hajj fares and assistance in concluding Tijjaniyyah University under construction in Kano. Reacting, Tinubu said the answers to their demand were in his manifesto, which was unveiled on Friday by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari .
