The foremost presidential candidate in the country and revered national leader of All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was on Friday unequivocal in stating before a mammoth crowd of supporters in Ekiti state that fifth columnists are behind the current nationwide fuel and new Naira notes scarcity. The aim of the fifth columnists, according to Tinubu, is to foist a political crisis on the country and consequently install an interim government.
Tinubu spoke at Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, venue of his presidential campaign rally where he stated that the people behind the crisis are inflicting nationwide frustration and hardship on Nigerians with an ultimate goal of instigating a turmoil that can eventually lead to postponement of the general elections.
Tinubu stated; “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 is in the presidential race to better their lives and as such the need to avert the installation of an interim government.
Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, while making his speech at the rally introduced 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.
Oyebanji assured his people of a better Ekiti State with Tinubu as president. 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, 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.
