The National Leader of the
All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday called on
Nigeria to reject Former President Olusegun Obasanjo describing him as an
expired politician.
Tinubu who spoke at the All
Progressive Congress (APC), rally Maiduguri told the teaming APC supporters
that, “I can hear the other expired leaders like Obasanjo, ranting and lying;
“Don’t believe, don’t trust him, he is expired,” said Tinubu.
Asiwaju regretted the
frequent attacks on the Buhari-led administration by former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, stressing that the APC administration was cleaning up the mess and
rot of the past PDP administrations.
“When we came on board in
2015, we made promises to all Nigerians that as the sheep of this country, we
are going to turn it to the right direction and we have done that.
“We are sweeping all the
cobwebs of the collateral corruption, we are sweeping it away to give Nigerians
a new life, new home and a solid foundation; that is what President Buhari is
doing and we are 100 per cent with him. President Muhammadu Buhari has been
upright, firm and has been steady, focused with a great vision for the
betterment and progress of this country.
“We can recall the rigging
in 2003 under Obasanjo, we also knew what happened in 2007 under President
Obasanjo. 95 percent of you must come out and vote en-mass for Buhari because
no other president had upheld democratic principles like president Buhari. In
1985, we gave it to him but he cannot remember even one day to recognized MKO’s
mandate of June 12. Again, when he came back into power, we ask him for the
recognition he failed. Who did it; President Buhari. declared June 12 as
Democracy day to honour MKO Abiola,” Tinubu said.
He informed that the
attacks of Obasanjo were in bad faith, adding that, “He could not stop
Nigerians from re-electing the president.”
The APC National Chairman,
Adams Oshiomole scored Buhari’s government very high in security, saying, “Under
the past administration, the 24 local government was under the control of Boko
Haram noting the current administration under Buhari, all the LGAs were
liberated. No LGA is under the control of the insurgents. You have gained
control of the 777 councils.
We still have security
challenges but the arrogance, impunity that Nigeria is wallowing in had become
a thing of the past,” he declared.
