The Director, Media and Publicity, Bola Tinubu-Kashim Shettima Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Bayo Onanuga, has faulted Nigerian separatist leader, Professor Banji Akintoye’s argument that his principal, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2023 election, is pursuing his personal interest.
In a statement issued on Thursday, sent to POLITICS NIGERIA, Onanuga said Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, is aspiring to become Nigeria’s next president because he believes in a united country, and also because he is ready to serve.
“We find it quite preposterous the Professor’s sweeping outlandish accusation that Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu is only pursuing his personal interest in running for the presidency of Nigeria. Such a statement is malicious and unwarranted
“ It is pertinent to state that Asiwaju 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,” the statement by Onanuga reads in part.
