The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Thursday disclosed through his media that the recent attacks on him were because he rejected the offer by President Jonathan to serve as the Vice President of a proposed interim government. Tinubu claimed that the President was looking for ways to take him out either by killing him or getting him arrested based on trumped up charges due to his refusal of the offer.
However, the president through his special adviser on media and publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati debunked the claims of the APC national leader yesterday, saying that there is no truth in the claim that the president offered the former Lagos State governor the opportunity to serve as Vice President of any interim government. Abati further said that Tinubu’s claim is absurd and ridiculous. He insisted that the position of the president had remained that the idea of an interim government is treasonable and that the president had neither proposed the idea at any forum nor discussed it with anybody. He said the president was going into the March 28 presidential election with the conviction
that he had performed well and majority of Nigerians would vote for him
massively.
Dr Reuben Abati also appealed to Nigerians to dismiss Tinubu’s claim as it was another
gimmick coming from a desperate political group seeing that defeat is
steering them in the face and are resorting to greater desperation.
If we could recall, earlier in the year before the postponement of the elections, Tinubu had claimed that he was under the watch of combat ready soldiers, however, when reporters took photographs of his home, no soldiers were found. Could it be that the national leader of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu is just making up the stories?
Anyway, it is just two weeks away as Nigerians go to the polls to decide their president. The heated political system can once again return to its cold state.
