Fuel crises, naira redesign plots against my election – Tinubu



By Afolasade Owotutu, Abeokuta

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday inferred that the  fuel crisis in Nigeria and naira redesign by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are plots against his election.

Tinubu who disclosed this during his campaign at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital vowed not to be deterred by the plots.

Tinubu was received at the venue  by jubilant crowd of supporters of the APC in the entourage of the members of the APC National Working Committee, NWC, and Presidential Campaign Council, PCC; the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, Speaker of House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwolu,  Ekiti State Governor, Abiodun Oyebanji, Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, former Governors of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel and Olusegun Osoba respectively, amongst others.

The former governor of Lagos state insisted that even if the government increases the fuel price, Nigerians will still trek to their various polling units to cast their votes for him.

Asiwaju while addressing the huge crowd pledged that his administration will permanently address the issue of fuel supply if he emerges.

Tinubu inferred that though the Federal government is sabotaging the supply of fuel, his (Tinubu) loyalists will troop in their large numbers to vote  for him. 

He also added that even if the CBN changes the naira notes, the election will still be held.

Tinubu said “They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax. They don’t want this election to be held, they want to scuttle it. Do you agree? 

“Let them increase the price of fuel only when they know where they have hoarded fuel, they hoarded money, they hoarded naira; we will go and vote and we will win. Even if they change the ink on Naira notes, we will buy the whole naira. Whatever their plans, it will come to nought. We are going to win. Those in the PDP will lose (won ma lule). 

“They said there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They have a lot of mischief, they could say there is no fuel. They have been scheming to create a fuel crisis, but forget about it.

He added “Relax, I Asiwaju have told you that the issue of fuel supply will be permanently addressed. Whoever wants to eat the honey embedded in a mountain won’t worry about the axe. Is that not so? And if you want to eat palm kernel, you would bring stone and use it to break it, then the kernel will come out.”

Tinubu also vowed to take over the government from  “The traitors who wanted to contest with us. They had no experience”

“I am homeboy, I have come here, you will not be put to shame, we will take over the government from them, the traitors who wanted to contest with us. They had no experience.”

He stressed that his victory in the coming poll will be a great revolution in the history of Nigeria.

“This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax. They don’t want this election to be held, they want to scuttle it. Do you agree? 

Speaking on the dwindling university system, the Presidential candidate pledged that his government would not allow a repeat of the ASUU strike in the country even as he assured the student audience of a drop-out  free higher institution period.

His words “On this one, I’m guaranteeing you one thing: there will be a student loan. Nobody will drop out of the University because of school fees. I guarantee you that. Nobody will have to repeat for eight years, and not graduate. Haba! We are too smart, we are brilliant, we are courageous, we are sharp, we will take a four year course. 

“Do you agree? Will you vote whether there is fuel or not? Call your sister, we are bringing revolution. Let me say what’s on my mind. The other day, I told you. This one too, they think they can cause a crisis by sabotaging fuel supply. 

“They are sabotaging fuel supply. Whether there is fuel or not, whether there is Okada (motorcycle) or not, whether there is tricycle or not, we will go and vote and we shall win. This is a superior revolution and when I tell you, you know what I mean. You know me, we are going there to win, he added”.
