The AAC flag bearer said, “Tinubu came, he hasn't lasted for two weeks; two things were of great concern to him: how to punish the poor, and who are the poor? The same people who have always been cheated out of the commonwealth of Nigeria. “Nobody is talking about how to end Boko Haram, banditry. It is how to exploit the Lagos model of democracy to Abuja and nationalize it. Which is this"agberocracy" that he is doing in Lagos.”
He said, “I have been hearing that some people are saying that 'it is our turn, whether they rigged the election or not'. Since your people have been doing the democracy of our right, the land has never progressed.
