The All Progressives Congress
(APC) on Sunday reacted angrily to recent comments by MKO Abiola’s son, Kola,
and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Bode George, that ex-governor
Bola Tinubu begged the late Gen. Sani Abacha for the post of a commissioner in
Lagos State.
Joe Igbokwe, APC Publicity
Secretary in Lagos, in a statement quoted Kola saying “It was after Tinubu had
lost out that he decided to join hands with the National Democratic Coalition
for the actualization of June 12 mandate.”
Igbokwe, in his reaction, said
although APC did not find the need to “dignify a collapsed and a failed
politician in Lagos or a little kid without sense of history with a response at
a time like this, but we changed our mind because we do not want to allow lies
to be told a thousand times so that some people will not believe it as the
truth.”
He noted that before the
annulment of June 12 1993 Presidential Elections Governors, Senators, House of
Reps Members, State Assembly members had been in place and Tinubu was one of
the elected Senators from Lagos.
The spokesman quipped: “Now how
can an elected Senator be asking for a mere appointment as Commissioner? Does
it make sense to anybody who is privileged to be a sensible person?”
“In one breath the story tellers
said Asiwaju asked for the post of a commissioner and in another they told us
he wanted to be Deputy Sole Administrator Of Lagos. Now, do we have anything
like Deputy Sole Administrator then? Was it in existence? Are they not liars
from the pit of hell?”
“We do understand the reason why
Chief Bode George always have this penchant to get at Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
at the drop of a hat and even when it is not necessary. The gap between Asiwaju
BAT and Chief Bode George in terms of political sagacity, leadership,
achievements, follower ship, capacity, acceptance, credibility etc is a huge
one in favour of Asiwaju.
“Asiwaju has been defeating and
crushing Chief Bode George in every election in Lagos for 20 years and the
world knows that George has been an unhappy man for 20 years. How can anyone in
all honesty expect Chief Bode George to celebrate his potential political
enemy?”
“Chief Bode George has found
himself in a miserable political position in Nigeria in the past 20 years and
everybody knows that Asiwaju kept him in that miserable situation and only a
baby will think that he will be fair to Asiwaju in anything at all.
“While it is possible for Chief
Bode George to work so hard to get to Asiwaju’s level in the next 20 years it
is difficult if not impossible to bring Asiwaju to Bode George’s pathetic Level
in order to bridge the gap”
“Lagos APC thinks that it is high
time Chief Bode George took time to reflect on his poor and unpleasant politics
in Lagos and the South West in the past 20 years and try to amends his ways for
the better.
“An Igbo adage says when an old
woman falls down two times on her way to the market she is bound to count what
is remaining in her basket. Time has come for Chief Bode George to take stock
and do a sober reflection on his political career.”
