Buhari’s failure drags down Tinubu’s pledge to be different, he adds
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Former Senator Shehu Sani says the failure of Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a drag on the argument by Bola Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, that he can do things differently and better.
Sani warned Tinubu is up against the complicated, contradictory, and uncomfortable task of defending the poor performance of the APC while claiming to be above it.
“The most complicated, contradictory and uncomfortable position of the presidential candidate of the ruling party is that of having to defend the failures of the ruling party and at the same time pledging to be different,” he tweeted, per Daily Post.
Tinubu fingers Abuja officials as plotting against his victory
Tinubu lamented last Wednesday on the stump in Abeokuta fuel scarcity and non-availability of new naira notes are part of a plot by government officials to scuttle his chances at the ballot box.
He said the unpleasant situations were created by his political opponents to cause citizens’ disaffection with the APC.
“Even if they said there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They have a lot of mischiefs, they could say there is no fuel. This one too, they think they can cause crisis by sabotaging fuel supply,” Tinubu moaned.
