Presidential Campaign Organisation of the Peoples
Democratic Party has alleged that a former Governor of
Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is plotting to become the
President of Nigeria through what it called the back door.
It said the plot by the former governor, who is a stalwart of
the main opposition party, the All Progressive Congress,
was to take over as President of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria in the event that the APC candidate, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), wins the March 28, presidential
election.
Director of Media and Publicity of the PDPPCO, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, made this allegation at a press conference in
Abuja on Friday.
He nevertheless said the campaign team of the PDPPCO
wished Buhari a long life.
Fani-Kayode said skeletal information available to the
PDPPCO suggested that the Vice Presidential candidate of
the APC, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, was picked by Tinubu and
“forced to take an oath” to resign his appointment six
months into the new cabinet, should the APC win the
elections.
After his resignation, the PDPPCO further alleged that the
party would field Tinubu as his replacement and to wait for
the health condition of Buhari to worsen to Tinubu’s
advantage.
He asked Buhari to “watch his back,” adding that the “gang-
up” against him and Nigerians was situated on the
calculation that his health would deteriorate and lead to his
death, paving the way for the expected “new vice president”
to take over power.
Fani-Kayode said, “It should baffle well-meaning Nigerians
why Tinubu has decided to draft Buhari, despite his age,
acrimonious background and questionable health status,
into the presidential race whilst ensuring that his stooge,
Prof Osinbajo, was foisted on the general as vice
presidential candidate.
“The reason is that the PDPPCO wishes to use this forum to
expose the ungodly plan by Tinubu to seize the presidency
of Nigeria by subterfuge.
“You will recall how Tinubu wanted to be running mate to
Buhari in spite of the nationwide resentment for Muslim-
Muslim ticket that he and Buhari planned to foist on their
party men and women.
“Senator Tinubu had justified the (planned) ticket by saying
that competence was the important thing and not the issue
of religion.
“But when he and Buhari could not push through the
agenda within the APC, he (Tinubu), after been given the
opportunity to nominate a vice presidential candidate,
decided to prop up his stooge in the person of Prof
Osinbajo.
“Now, the real reason Tinubu nominated Osinbajo has been
made known to us and we hereby offer a public service to
the Nigerian people by drawing national attention to it.
Credible pieces of information at our disposal indicate that
Tinubu has perfected plans to come to power through the
back door.
“Tinubu, according to our information, has compelled
Osinbajo to swear to an oath that after six months in office,
he would resign as the vice president, in the unlikely event
that their party wins. The wicked plot, as laid out by them,
is to force Osinbajo to resign for Tinubu to be nominated by
Buhari as his replacement.”
Fani-Kayode added, “The ultimate objective of this plot is to
ensure that Tinubu becomes President. The script is simple:
given the questionable health of Buhari, Tinubu, who is
desperate to be president for his own selfish reasons, will
simply bid his time in the evil expectation that Buhari will
not be able to go the whole hog.
“How wicked can those that hatched this plan be? How
unfair can they be to the North, to Buhari and to Nigerians?
We wish Buhari long life. Senator Tinubu’s dangerous plan
is about getting power. This is sad. No thoroughbred
Yoruba man or indeed Nigerian wants to get power through
the misfortune of another person.
“But this is the perfidious path that Tinubu is passing
through. This is repugnant.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
