You can’t kill me, as you killed others — Tinubu tells opposition
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Saturday, told his political opponents that they cannot kill him as they have killed others in the past.
He said the plans of the opposition camps to kill him as they have done to others in the past will not be productive.
Tinubu, made this revelation while addressing a massive crowd of supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a presidential rally which took place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, in Lagos.
Tinubu, while addressing the massive crowd said “I am indeed very grateful to God Almighty, to all of you people, to the members of Buhari’s cabinet. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
“This election will be about the broom revolution. You can’t kill me as you did kill others,” he added.
“I know one man, Atiku, he has been contesting since 1999. He ran under PDP, under AC, we gave him the platform but they repaid us with evils. Tell him to go and sit at home. Use your PVC to retire him this time around in 2023.”
Abdullahi Adamu, the national Chairman of the party, said: “Lagos has spoken and you have spoken well, you have come out en masse to show support.
“I am appealing to you that it’s not over until it is over. It is not done until it is done. APC has chosen a good candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is the president in waiting.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives said: “We have come to energise the base. As you are energised, go out there to energise the spring voters. Everyone here is BATified. Tinubu is the greatest politician in modern day Nigerian politics.
“For those who doubt his age, tell them to go and meet his mother in the grave. He is the most educated candidate among the presidential candidates.
“I want to tell our South-East and South-South brothers, it is time to invest in Tinubu.”
Governor Atiku Bagudu, the chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) said: “I stand here on behalf of all the APC Governors, I thank Lagosians for putting their trust in Asiwaju. Our party believes in Asiwaju.”
The DG of the PCC DG, Lalong, said: “As we are coming, I didn’t only see human beings, I saw fishes jumping inside water to celebrate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This is the most suitable person that can succeed Buhari in 2023.
“It is very clear that Nigerians have decided to vote for Tinubu and Shettima. I know charity begins at home. I know he has the capacity and charisma to serve Nigerians. I plead with Lagosians to vote for him. Some candidates will come and give you false statistics. Buhari has told me to inform you that you should remain focused.”
