Several Nigerians on social media have aired their opinions on the response of Bola Tinubu, All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, defending the suspended party chair, Adams Oshiomhole.
Tinubu made his stance known on Sunday amidst the kerfuffle generated by the suspension of Oshiomhole and plots to remove him as the Chairman.
Also, it should be noted that the choice of who to drive the party’s affairs has been controversial as a faction endorsed the national secretary, Victor Giadom.
Tinubu blamed the over ambitiousness of some members of the party, saying; “While Corona has been presently contained in Nigeria, we must be alert to another sickness that seems rampant within a certain segment of society. That sickness is old Ambition-virus 2023.”
“It is against this backdrop that we should view the present ploys and plots to undermine the APC National Chairman. The Chairman is human; thus, he has his merits as well as his flaws. Yet his humanity cannot be grounds for his dismissal. If so, the position will forever go vacant.”
Meanwhile, in the reactions gathered, some Nigerians alleged that the national leader was on Oshiomhole’s side because of his interest in the presidency while some lauded his intervention.
Below are the reactions
“Tinubu just destroyed the egocentric APC leaders with his sword of truth & shield of fact. Sincerely, there is no sensible Nigerian youth that won’t want to learn from Jagaban’s political ideology.
A Leader like Asiwaju is very scarce!”

“Oshiomole & Tinubu had perfected the 2023 game with many APC State chairmen but they didn’t know the cabal were just watching them like bat.”

“The gang up against Oshomole will not work. Instead of people to support Buhari to achieve, they are planning for his exit. They are all selfish.”

“To all those supporting and selling Tinubu for 2023,
Tinubu is not a visionary leader, like Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore & Paul Kagame of Rwanda. He will not for go his mypoic interest for the interest of 200m people, I know this becos the level Legos state is today, is far below…”

“On a day that a massive explosion which claimed the lives of scores of Lagosians, the only thing that seems to bother Tinubu is his stupid presidential ambition.”

“Tinubu’s takes on issues always exudes Tactfulness, Maturity , Intelligence , and wits devoid of opacity or obscurity.
He has mastered the art of throwing those subtle jibes yet passing his message with clarity and style.
He took those nitwits a class on intellectualism.”

“Watch! The more you see the less you understand. Your presidential ambition will only be a mire dream. Mr Tinubu, you were scam by the “Turbans” and the textile guy will not deliver to you. Stop wasting the resources in the armored vehicle, Mr Joseph the dreamer.”
