Former President of the Performing Musicians Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli, has revealed what he will do if the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, becomes the president in 2023.
The renowned flutist said he would advise Tinubu if he eventually becomes Nigeria’s president in 2023.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Tee Mac said Tinubu, who is an in-law of his, is 86-year-old and not qualified to become Nigeria’s President.
However, during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, Tee Mac, said his comment was taken out of context.
Tee Mac said, “Well, Oluremi is Itsekiri. Her mother and my mother are cousins. So, we are related. Tinubu is my in-law. Tinubu has been a music fan his whole life. I have seen him at many events. I saw him at an African music award. When you are out in publicity and you need music, you become friends.
“I was taken out of context. I replied on Social media to someone who we used to converse with and it went viral. I have no negative thoughts or negativity over the candidacy of Tinubu.
“I feel uncomfortable that it went viral. I respect Tinubu. I have known him for over twenty years. I was shocked by a statement taken out of context. They went to my Instagram, and all media outlets took it up. I did not feel well that the remarks went viral.”
“If Tinubu becomes the president, he knows me. I will be there to advise.” Tee Mac concluded.
