All Progressives Congress, APC presidential standard bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Friday alleged plot to foist on the country an interim government.
Barely 20 days to the general elections, scheduled for February 25, 2023, Tinubu said the fifth columnists behind the current nationwide fuel and new Naira notes scarcity wanted to foist a political crisis on the country with a view to emplacing an interim government.
Speaking at Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, venue of the presidential campaign rally on Friday, Asiwaju Tinubu said the people behind the crisis that was causing nationwide frustration and hardship to Nigerians wanted to spark turmoil that could lead to postponement of the general elections.
Read him: “They are hoarding Naira so that you can be angry and fight. They want confusion so that the election can be postponed. What they want is an interim government. But we are wiser than them. We will not fight. Any rat that eats the rat poison will end up killing itself.”
Tinubu told the people that he was in the presidential race to better their lives and as such the need to avert the plan to install an interim government.
In his address at the rally, Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji introduced Asiwaju Tinubu as an in-law who gave his daughter as wife to Ekiti people and the people of the state must reciprocate with 100% votes for him and all APC candidates.
The governor assured the people of a better Ekiti State with Tinubu as president, the same point he made during the meeting of the APC candidate with Ekiti State Council of Traditional rulers.
Among APC National Leaders and governors who attended the rally were former Interim National Chairman of the party Chief Bisi Akande, former governor Kayode Fayemi, Minister of Trade and Industry Niyi Adebayo.
Others were APC National Women Leader, Betta Edu, Ondo State Deputy Governor, Lucky Ayedatiwa, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, Senator Olamilekan Adeola and other Federal and State lawmakers from Ondo and Ekiti States.
