The national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has humiliated Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.
Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun
Tinubu, who is considered the most likely aspirant to emerge the presidential candidate of the APC in the 2023 presidential election, has been on a tour of states in recent times. He took a swipe at Governor Abiodun recently while addressing delegates from the APC in Ogun State.
Speaking on how he helped President Muhammadu Buhari to become president in 2015, Tinubu boasted that he was the most qualified for the job ahead now that it is the turn of the Yoruba people to produce a president.
Tinubu who spoke at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Thursday, June 2, accompanied by the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; the Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje and former Borno State Governor, Kasim Shettima said,
“If not for me that stood behind Buhari, he wouldn’t have become the President. He tried the first time, but he failed. The second time, he failed. The third, he failed.
“He even wept on national television and vowed never to contest again but I went to meet him in Kaduna and told him he will run again, I will stand by you and you will win, but you must not joke with Yorubas and he agreed, ” Tinubu boasted.
Stating that he was instrumental to Osinbajo’s emergence as Vice President; he brazenly added that the Ogun State governor, Abiodun who he carelessly tagged “This One” could not have secured the position without him.
“This one sitting behind me here, could not have become governor without me? We were at the stadium, they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him, I was the one who brought it.
“If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that he would not have become governor without God and me,” Tinubu said.
