Tinubu<\/a>, so as to avoid further embarrassment.<\/p>\n\u201cTinubu may be a successful politician whose lifetime ambition is to be President of Nigeria, but it takes more than being a politician to become Nigeria\u2019s President. Among other things, it takes credibility. The fact that everything about Tinubu is shrouded in secrecy should tell us that the APC presidential candidate lacks the credibility to govern a country like Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut more importantly, with the disaster that the APC administration has turned out to be, it will be more catastrophic to have a Tinubu as his successor. Governing Nigeria is not all about identifying surrogates who will man critical political offices for future political gains. Nigeria needs a debonair, cerebral, healthy, and suave President \u2014 a man in the mould of Atiku Abubakar\u201d, Shaibu said.<\/p>\n
According to him, it had become public knowledge that every time Tinubu came out in public to make a statement or two, he always goofed.<\/p>\n
Shaibu said these in a statement titled, \u201cTinubu should be Grand Comedian of the Federal Republic,\u201d in Abuja on Sunday.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIn his latest gaffe at the Lagos rally, he asked Nigerians to get their APV in order to vote for APC when even primary school children know that the PVC is the only item that admits a voter into a polling unit.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he is not saying that voter\u2019s card has an expiration date, he is saying that young Nigerians are tweeting on WhatsApp or that 50 million youths should be recruited into the Nigerian Army and be fed with cassava in the morning, and \u2018agbado\u2019 in the night. How can you say Nigerians are tweeting on WhatsApp? Common, is that the kind of person we want to hand 21st Century Nigeria over to?<\/p>\n
\u201cWithout mincing words, Tinubu\u2019s gaffes already supply comedians, skit makers, meme-makers, and TikTokers with content. He is a self-writing joke and will make Nigeria a bye-word for scorn among the comity of nations, which is why he shouldn\u2019t get close to power.<\/p>\n
\u201cTruth be told, old age is the most mis-recommending criterion against a Tinubu presidency. And examples abound to buttress this point. Just listen to any of his extempore speeches and what you find is a lack of coherence, logic and verve. It is for the purpose of unmasking the real Tinubu and exposing him for who he really is, that we have challenged the APC standard bearer to an hour-long television interview.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaibu said the APC\u2019S seven-and-a-half-year reign was a sad reminder of Nigeria\u2019s arrested development since 2015 when they came to power.<\/p>\n
He said Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu\u2019s claim at the Lagos rally that Tinubu would lift Nigerians out of hardship and hunger was an indictment on the APC, an admission that indeed over 133 million Nigerians now live in abject poverty as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow they are selling a message of renewed hope. It is common knowledge that darkness cannot cure darkness and sickness cannot cure sickness. How can the APC be promising to fix problems exacerbated by the APC? This is balderdash,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Shaibu said that the most compelling reason for the APC to be de-registered is the fact that it had driven millions of Nigerians deeper into poverty since 2015 when it has been ruling the country and spent trillions of naira procuring hunger, darkness and insecurity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the APC are not keen on replacing this candidate, they should in the alternative apologize to all Nigerians for bringing them nothing but the suffering of unquantifiable proportion since 2015, and proceed to make a solemn pledge not to have anything to do with governance, especially with the February 25, the election is fast approaching.<\/p>\n
\u201cI must confess that I consider the remarks credited to the APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday, November 26, 2022, where he laboured, albeit unsuccessfully, to paint the PDP presidential candidate as ungrateful and over-ambitious as not only offensive but reckless\u201d, Shaibu said.<\/p>\n
He reasoned that instead of attacking Atiku, Tinubu should have dissipated that energy on telling Nigerians about himself, especially at this time when it was said at various fora that the only thing that was really about him is his person and that every other ascription on him is a borrowed robe.<\/p>\n
The statement reads, \u201cTo be sure, Nigerians believe that Tinubu should come in the open to effectively disclaim the allegation that his name as it appears on public documents is not his name; that the parents he claimed were not his; that the certificates he claimed to be his are not and that the schools he claimed to have attended didn\u2019t know him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue of which schools he attended is already in the public domain as only a few months ago, he told the Independent National electoral commission that he didn\u2019t attend primary and secondary schools. The former Lagos governor, however, claimed he had two degrees from two American universities, which he further stated had been stolen by unknown soldiers during the military junta of the 1990s!!<\/p>\n
\u201cThe disclosures came in an affidavit submitted by Tinubu to the electoral office as part of his eligibility filings for the 2023 presidential elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe documents released on Friday, June 24 2022, showed that the APC presidential flagbearer left the columns for his primary and secondary education unmarked. But he said he obtained a degree in business and administration in 1979, apparently referring to his previous claims of attending the Chicago State University.<\/p>\n
Shaibu recalled Tinubu\u2019s claim that \u201cI went on self-exile from October 1994 to October 1998. When I returned, I discovered that all my property, including all the documents relating to my qualifications and my certificates in respect of paragraph three above, were looted by unknown persons.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to him, Tinubu\u2019s latest claims appear to contradict his previous election submissions, especially in 1999 and 2003 when he ran for office as a governorship candidate in Lagos.<\/p>\n
He claimed both times that he attended primary and secondary schools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
