Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), made a blunder while speaking at the seventh Kaduna Economic
and Investment Summit (KADInvest).
Speaking at the event on Saturday, Tinubu said Nasir
el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, turned a “rotten situation to a bad one.”
“I am openly begging governor el-Rufai not to run away from
additional degrees like PhD or others. There are educated derelicts,” the
former governor of Lagos said.
“We are not going to let you run away. Your vision,
creativity and resilience in turning a rotten situation to a bad one are
necessary at this critical time and that is why we are here.”
The slip elicited reactions online.
Which one is turning rotting situation to a bad one….

Every time this man speaks, he exposes his lack of depth and knowledge.
Apc supporters should be ashamed that this is the best they could Present to Nigerians as their candidate. What a shame.
"El-Rufai’s vision, creativity and resiliency in turning a rotten situation into a bad one is necessary at this critical time" - Tinubu.

You see the reason why they're hiding him from media interviews? The degeneration has migrated to his mind and mouth.
This is why they don’t allow him to face the media. And it also looks like he is convenient to show face in the north than other places.

Reacting to the incident, the APC presidential campaign
council said the slip is “common to every human being and even great leaders.”
“The APC leader inadvertently said Governor El-Rufai ‘turned
a rotten situation’ he met on ground in Kaduna into ‘a bad one’ whereas he
meant to say ‘to a great one’,” Bayo Onanuga, director of media of the campaign
council, said.
“It was a mere slip,
that is not unusual in life, even among leaders of nations. We recognise we are
in a political season where everything is latched on for deliberate distortion
and twisted mischief.
“While mischief makers went so low, we noted that the audience at KadInvest 7.0 followed Asiwaju Tinubu with rapt attention and knew he only had a slip.”
