The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate,
Bola Tinubu has said his ambition is not out of personal or selfish interest.
Tinubu explained that he is running for the presidency due
to his readiness to serve Nigerians.
He was reacting to a comment by the leader of the Yoruba
Nation group, Professor Banji Akintoye, that his presidential ambition was
personal and not in the interest of the Yoruba people.
The APC presidential candidate said Akintoye’s remark was
malicious and unwarranted.
Speaking through the Director of Media and Publicity of the
APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu vowed to resist any
attempt to derail his presidential campaign.
According to Tinubu, Akintoye’s comment was misplaced and
divisive.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to an
unfortunate, misdirected, misplaced and divisive statement credited to Prof
Banji Akintoye, in which his group threatened to pull the South West out of
Nigeria.
“We find it quite preposterous the Professor’s sweeping
outlandish accusation that Bola Ahmed Tinubu is only pursuing his PERSONA
interest in running for the presidency of Nigeria. Such a statement is
malicious and unwarranted.
“It is pertinent to state that Tinubu is contesting for
Nigeria’s presidency because of his readiness to render unflinching service to
Nigerians and because of his abiding faith in a strong, united, and prosperous
Nigeria where every man and woman, regardless of their ethnicity and religious
beliefs, can be proud and prosperous.”
He said most of the issues raised by Akintoye had been
addressed in his Action Plan.
