2023 ELECTION : TINUBU IS INELIGIBLE AS PRESIDENT, SAYS OLOGBODIYAN
DAMI LAWRENCE
The Spokesperson of Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbodiyan, says that the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is ineligible to hold power as the President, given his overtly exposed selfish motives.
Mr. Ologbodiyan declared that from Tinubu’s determined egotistic and haughty claims, annexation and brazen entitlement statements, which he later portrayed during his interaction with stakeholders in Kaduna on Monday, it has shown that the APC Presidential Candidate is ambitious by the lust to appropriate the nation as his personal estate and not for the national interest.
“Nigerians watched with utter disappointment as Tinubu, avoided questions and discussions on critical and imperative national issues, which confirms that he is in the Presidential race for reasons other than the wellbeing of Nigerians.
“The APC Presidential Candidate has not been approaching issues of transparency, accountability and answerability in government, devolution of power, state police, federal character and other key issues that will enhance democratic tenets for the benefit of Nigerians; a development that further confirms a selfish intention against the inclusive interest of our nation.
“Perhaps this explains why the APC Presidential Candidate has not composed a campaign organization; a foretaste of exclusionist agenda.
Even his proposed economic policies were generalized without addressing the specific problems of galloping inflation and its attendant unbearable rising costs, unemployment, high interest rates and the abysmally low purchasing power of Nigerians.
“Nigerians must therefore resist such tendencies as any government built on what the APC Presidential Candidate ostensibly represents will amount to creating a fiefdom for a self-conceited ruler over our nation,” Ologbondiyan asserted in a statement on Tuesday.
He added, “Never in our national history have Nigerians seen a politician with this level of self-entitlement.
“It is laughable that since he became the APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu has sought for endorsement under every guise forgetting that 2023 election is a referendum against the mass failures of the APC in governance.”
Ologbodiyan urged Nigerians to note that it will be a disaster for the country, if the people allow a presidential candidate that will “‘alphabetize’ our revenue generating agencies such as Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Plc among others to take over the reign of governance.”
