The Senator representing Lagos
Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Oluremi Tinubu, has
stated that the defection of some top members of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other parties have
taught President Muhammadu Buhari some lesson.
According her, the scenario
opened the eyes of the President to know those who have his interest at heart,
adding that efforts to blackmail Buhari will not work.
She made this known during a
media briefing to announce her campaign at the weekend.
Tinubu said that the president
has certainly learnt from the issue that not everyone has his good intention at
heart even if he embraced all.
She told reporters: “For the
leadership (issue) in the Senate I experienced it and I believe the president
also learnt from what happened. We don’t have to say that we are preventing it,
because most of the work he could have done, if we had the right leadership we
wouldn’t have been going through what we are going through today.
“So, I believe that the president
would have learnt one thing or two because when he came in, he said he doesn’t
belong to anybody, but I know that by this time, he knows those people who
belong to him.
“He will know that some people
have his best interest at heart and some don’t! What can the president do to
smoothen relations between the executive and the legislature between now and
May 29, 2019? I don’t think much can be done now. It will lead to blackmail.
“For me, we are going to run and
walk with what we have and I don’t think a PDP administration has much to offer
us. They are the ones who got us into this rot in the first place and we are
trying to get out of it.
“To me, there is hope returning
back to this nation and Nigerians should give the APC led administration
another four years and they can decide thereafter. Four years is not enough for
any president to make….
“He is not a magician to just
wave a wand and everything is back to normal. We didn’t get there overnight.
Executive and parliamentary parley I think is gone. The president will still
try and I think he is doing that, but that is why I said that it is more of
blackmail but politics is like blackmail and I think he would be able to handle
it.
“But I don’t see our president yielding
to blackmail and I think Nigeria needs such people. And I pray that he would
remain focused and continue to steer the ship so that we can have a safe
landing.”
