National leader of the All Progressives Congress Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu on Saturday took a swipe at the President Goodluck Jonathan-led
administration, urging it to account for the various missing funds or
quit as president.
Tinubu, who spoke at the sixth Bola Tinubu Colloquium in Lagos entitled “The Summit of the Common Man”, described President Jonathan’s administration as shameless.
According to him, “rather than account for the alleged missing $20bn oil revenue, it kept giving frivolous excuses that tend to ridicule the country.
He said: “They are so shameless that the number of years they have ruled does not matter to them. Don’t change the subject matter. Account for the missing money or go. All the explanations they gave about the missing money are just explanations. They steal from pensioners. We must kick them out.”
The former Lagos State governor said the electorate would not continue to vote for a government that refused to give them electricity.
The Gagaban of Borgu Kingdom said, “The change is for you to vote and defend it. We must break the shackles of poverty. How can we continue to vote for a government that refused to give us petrol and which removed subsidy on petroleum products. Are we sadistic? Do we enjoy being punished?”
In his remarks, the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, called on the electorate to be mindful of those they elect to govern them.
He said, “I know that we have employed somebody for the top job in this country but when we asked him about his qualifications and experience, he said he had no shoes. You must decide whether you want someone who spends most of his time in church or mosque, or the man who is ready to spend his time on the job.”
Also speaking the, chairman of the event, The Most Reverend Ephraim Ademowo, said Asiwaju Tinubu is an uncommon man: “He is a consummate and tested politician. A master strategist and a libertarian par excellence. He is kind to a fault.”
The ceremony attracted notable Nigerians such as APC interim chairman Chief Bisi Akande, former military head of state Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), Chief Segun Osoba, Prof. Pat Utomi, and the governors of Ogun, Osun and Ekiti states.
