Tinubu Lied in London, Presidency Says

THE Presidency on Thursday accused former Lagos State governor and leader of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Bola Tinubu, of lying over his remarks at an event in London where he presented President Goodluck Jonathan as incapable of tackling the challenges confronting the country.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja on Thursday, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, noted that at a time Tinubu's new political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) was battling unsuccessfully to produce a new set of leadership, Tinubu was in London telling lies about the Jonathan's administration.

Saying that government has noted "several inconsistencies, political razzmatazz and utter falsehoods contained in the address," Okupe said Tinubu's remarks were not only wide off the mark but betrayed the hypocrisy "for which the national leader of ACN and his party have become very well known."

He said that the ACN leader's claim that "everyone claims to be democratic but not everyone is faithful to his or her word," was "a clear case of self-indictment," arguing that "any keen and discerning observer of Nigeria's democracy will attest that Senator Tinubu and his ACN are completely lacking in democratic temper."

Okupe remarked that the ACN as a party was not only undemocratic but blatantly autocratic and makes no pretenses about it, saying "it is clear that ACN leadership's understanding of democracy is tainted and skewed by his undemocratic mindset, which has seen him exert authoritarian control over the party. With such disposition, it is easy to understand his warped and defective reading of the democratic situation in Nigeria."

According to the Presidential aide, that paper that Nigeria under the leadership of Jonathan was a dysfunctional democracy was not only the height of ignorance but equally of unbridled mischief.

He added: "Tinubu must be talking of an imaginary Nigeria not the Nigeria we all know and live in. His submission on our democracy is nothing but wild conjecture, completely unrelated to reality.

"For the records, the Nigerian democracy is robust, vibrant and unattenuated. Unlike the ACN chieftain would have us believe, Nigerian democracy does not stand in any dark.

Like de man at de Synagogue will always say " better is not good enough, de best is yet to come" I tink Mr. Doyin shud allow Mr. Abati handle Tinubu or even Reno Omokiri. Tinubu shud be concerned about hw to register their "mini" party and not running around crying like he can fix de problem of naija in one day. Oya, APC e-warriors over to yu

That tinubu is a tissue of lies.
We the masses know him.
Let 2015 come and we the masses will put him where he truly belongs.
Don't have much to say,
The PDP's rebuttal to his jamboree in london was epic and a master class

Ist to comment again.
Baba God u too much o oshe.
Dancing alingo

Na wah o

Oga tinubu,i thought after ondo state election U̶̲̥̅̊ will couple urself,bt Ȋ̝̊̅† seems i Ǎ̜̣̍м̣̣̥̇̊ wrong,y dnt U̶̲̥̅̊ organis a workshop 4 U̶̲̥̅̊‎​я̩̥̊ sons and daughters like akeredolu and lecture dem on acn politics dan tacklin jonathan about because i knw U̶̲̥̅̊ dnt knw d present nigeria politics

Ah ah. Thats bad nau Mr Tinubu,thats a bad way of 21st century politicking. You dnt gain credibility by bringing down ur opponent in a foreign land, and especially nt wen you also have a part to contribute. I disagree wit that system of play. Upgrade man. If I sweep the front of my house and my neighbors n everyone around do same,the community wil be clean. You have an opportunity to be in charge of some states,manage it well and leave the rest for Nigerians to decide come 2015.

APC aka. Amoured Personel Carrier is no mini party, it the opposition party we've yearned for. Death to pdp

Why must he say such a thing in the first instance? Outside the country!
Mtchw, he carried the stupid propaganda they play in Nigeria to Uk. Issorai. He is only disgracing himself; cos when the western media comes with their own propanga based on what he said, He will know what to say and what not to say next time! I wonder why Nigerians just like to wash their white garments in public just to score irrevant points. What exactly is the purpose of disapproving GEJ in the Uk? Will they impeach him? Mtchw. Ode oshi!

Tinubu

Tinubu should even thank his stars that Dr Abati is yet to comment on the lies he Tinubu told in London. I don't know why ACN/APC built their manifesto on falsehood

If the house of common remember Tinubu then they have respect for his judgement, Okupe is angry that none of the PDP member or leaders was called, face it.

I wonder why that man hasn't been assassinated yet. Not only did he loot us dry, he also a nuisance, flaunting his loot and disturbing our ears.

Y can't he just mind his business

So so funny and surprising how the Igbos abandoned the party founded by their psuedo hero, APGA to start romancing with the party in govt. They can't survive a year under an independent political party as found in the SW yet the want to cede from Nigeria. Bunch of gullible herds. Biafra my foot.
