Presidential Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Bola Tinubu has said the Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki, lacks the temperament and presence of mind for the office he currently occupies.<\/p>\n

Tinubu was reacting to comments by Obaseki that Nigeria would break up should the APC win the next presidential election<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Obaseki had also reportedly described the APC as a failure, alleging that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration now prints money and gives to states as their monthly share from the Federation Account.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile inaugurating the Edo State chapter of the already-destined-to-fail Peoples Democratic Party\u2019s Presidential Campaign Council yesterday in Benin, the underperforming, ever loquacious Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki betrayed his oath of office by wishing for the break up of our country because of his brand of crass partisanship\u201d, Tinubu stated.<\/p>\n

Tinubu in the statement by the Director, Media and Publicity of his presidential campaign council, Mr Bayo Onanuga noted that Obaseki told \u201chis band of jesters that Nigeria will break up if our party, the All Progressives Congress wins the 2023 presidential election\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said he and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima have demonstrated their combined capacities and competencies as Governors of Lagos and Borno States where they both provided purposeful and transformational leadership.<\/p>\n

Speaking about Obaseki, Tinubu said; \u201cFor a man who swore an oath of allegiance to the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria to be a purveyor of ill-will towards the same country because of partisan politics smirks of total irresponsibility and recklessness unbecoming of a governor who has a constitutionally sanctioned duty to preserve the unity and indivisibility of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is worth stating that we are not in any way surprised about Obaseki\u2019s outburst about Nigeria\u2019s breaking. He is, by nature, a divisive, obnoxious and toxic human being that lacks introspection and contemplation expected of a person occupying the office of a governor. He is obviously a man bereft of any iota of emotional intelligence and perhaps a misfit for the role he currently occupies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt his ill-fated event in Benin yesterday, Obaseki also repeated the earlier false claim he made in April 2021 on Nigeria\u2019s debt and his accusation that CBN was printing money to share directly to state governments, as if state finance commissioners hauled the billions of naira that is due to them by cash from Abuja every month. Only a disconnected and diseased mind could imagine this scenario that Obaseki concocted. The Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed and CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele debunked his lies in a manner that portrayed him as a nitwit, cheap liar and busybody who was just playing to the gallery. What a pity for a man who claimed to have financial background\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tinubu stated that the CBN has never printed money to pay Federal Allocations to states as claimed by Obaseki.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis much was publicly stated by the Governor of CBN and Minister of Finance. In any case, there is nothing strange or unusual in a sovereign nation printing money when it has to be done because it is one of the core mandates of Central Banks all over the world as lender of last resort\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Tinubu explained that nations embark on such moves when they are in difficult fiscal situation, as the whole world has been confronted with since 2019 with COVID-19 pandemic that put the global economy on tailspin.<\/p>\n

He said sovereign nations had to do what they needed to do in response to an existential crisis as COVID-19 ravaged economies, shut down factories and companies.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said Obaseki while playing his politics without honour and integrity, didn\u2019t remember to tell his crowd that Edo State benefited and took advantage of all the CBN\/FGN windows and interventions via loans, restructuring of loans.<\/p>\n

According to him, the policy has helped to save Edo and the other 35 states from economic cataclysm \u201cbecause of their terrible fiscal positions, which made many of them unable to pay salaries and pensions for months\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis same Obaseki, along with other governors under the banner of Nigerian Governors\u2019 Forum, has been putting pressure on CBN and Minister of Finance for more moratorium on their due obligations to CBN.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise Obaseki to stop his scaremongering and concentrate on how to save his faltering, failing, disconnected and unpopular Government in Edo State. He should stop abusing his office and stooping so low into the dirty gutter of bitter politicking and crisis-baiting. After more than 5 years in office, Obaseki does not have any landmark achievement in Edo State other than paying those on whose shoulder he rose to political relevance in Nigeria with evil. One of his mentors, the energetic Governor Nyesom Wike has expressed the deepest regrets in ever helping Obaseki to retain power in Edo State.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is quite amusing when Obaseki said PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar will rescue and rebuild Nigeria. We want to ask them how? How can the same people that destroyed the country and created the mess which the APC-led Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is working day and night to clean up, rescue Nigeria? It is the height of absurdity that Obaseki would recommend to reasonable Nigerians that his party could add new value to Nigeria after it superintended over the looting of over $5b in arms procurement contracts when Boko Haram ravaged the country. How can a party that has failed to build its National Secretariat in 16 years despite raising over N26billion build anything, including our nation?. And of course, nothing is expected from the same people who wasted $16billion to procure darkness for Nigerians in 16 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cObaseki should know by now that Nigerians do not want to have anything to do with his party and Atiku. And the signs are there for all to see: Obaseki\u2019s PDP cannot even rescue itself from internal implosion\u201d, Tinubu declared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
