The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has called on Nigerians not to vote for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, because of his “self entitlement to the Number position in the land”.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, a spokesperson of the Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, said Tinubu should not be trusted with power as the President, given his “overtly exposed selfish motives”.
Ologbondiyan asserted that from Tinubu’s persistent self-centered assertions and brazen entitlement messages, which he further displayed during his interaction with Northern stakeholders in Kaduna on Monday, “it is clear that the APC Presidential Candidate is being driven by the lust to appropriate the nation as his personal estate and not for the National interest.”
Ologbondiyan said the APC candidate has continued to avoid questions and discussions on critical and imperative national issues, which confirms that he is in the Presidential race for reasons other than the wellbeing of Nigerians.
He said: “He (Tinubu) has not been forthcoming on issues of transparency, accountability and answerability in government, devolution of power, state police, federal character and other key issues that will enhance democratic tenets for the benefit of Nigerians; a development that further confirms a selfish intention against the inclusive interest of our nation.
“Perhaps this explains why the APC Presidential Candidate has not composed a campaign organization; a foretaste of exclusionist agenda. Nigerians must therefore resist such tendencies as any government built on what the APC Presidential Candidate ostensibly represents will amount to creating a fiefdom for a self-conceited ruler over our nation.”
He explained that never in our national history have Nigerians seen a politician with this level of self-entitlement.
