You are the master election rigger , Tinubu berates Obasanjo
From all indications, the war of words between the trio of the Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and the Incumbent Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari and the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has not shown signs of ebbing away as the latter yesterday, took a swipe at the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo accusing him of being responsible for the flaws in Nigeria’s political economy since 1999.
We would recalled that Chief Obasanjo in his latest letter titled, ” The Points of Concern and Actions” had put questions on the credibility and impartiality of INEC in handling the forthcoming general elections across the country, thereby fingering and accusing both INEC and Asiwaju Bola’s APC of conspiracy.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari’s Spokesperson Garba Shehu has issued a prompt response to Chief Obasanjo’s diatribes, referring the former President to a ” doctor ” ” to get well soon” it appears that the All Progressives Congress won’t let this slide without taking their own pound of the flesh.
The party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has now reacted to the former President’s criticisms, Tinubu described Obasanjo as an “election rigger without peer.”
“In a letter titled Chief Obasanjo – At war against his own deeds, Tinubu said the former president is shameless and has a wicked sense of humour.
The statement reads: “Former President Obasanjo is many things to many people; but he is all things unto himself. His recent contribution to our political discourse wherein he alleges plots to steer the coming elections shows he benefits from an exceedingly faulty memory, is purely shameless or has a most wicked sense of humor. Perhaps all three are facets of his makeup and were equally on display in his latest prosaic display.” the letter entails.
“The crux of his long tirade was the allegation that INEC is poised to cook the election results. Chief Obasanjo should not get his dander up and waste good ink for nothing. This election will be a free and open exercise of the people’s right to choose their leaders. Obasanjo makes fiery allegations against this right but offers no corroborating evidence; he presents only reams of words. This is because Obasanjo is projecting onto the APC the misconduct he would wrought if still in power. Yet, the ways of Obasanjo are not those of the APC. And this difference has meant the better for Nigeria”
Ahmed Bola Tinubu while furthering his remarks asserted that he has no fears that the All Progressives Congress would record a sweeping victory nationwide across every available positions in the forthcoming general elections.
