The presidency has described The National Leader of the
Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a dictator and impostor
without respect for the tenets of democracy. The presidency was reacting to an
earlier statement by Tinubu which blamed the crisis in the Rivers State House
of Assembly on President Goodluck Jonathan.
The Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs,
Ahmed Gulak enjoined Tinubu to first cast
out the beam out of his own eye before attending to the crisis in the
People’s Democratic Party.
He also accused Tinubu of imposing members of his immediate
family on members of his political party (ACN) and Lagosians.
His words:
“We (The Presidency)have already said that Mr. President has
no hand in what is happening in Rivers State. Tinubu should face the crises
facing him, the issue of appointing his daughter as Iya Oloja of Lagos while
she is not a trader or a market woman. These are issues that Nigerians should
know. Tinubu should tell Nigerians why he has to replace Senator... with his
wife as a senator.
These are people who are dictators; these are people who are
breaching democracy and democratic principles. These are people who break the laws;
these are people who are not transparent.
Tinubu is such a fraud. He should explain to Nigerians how
his daughter was nominated or made Iya Oloja of Lagos while she is not a trader
or a market woman
These are issues he should tell Nigerians and not to drag
the name of Mr. President into the mud."
