We must Rescue Nigeria Now –tinubu by ruggedboy01: 8:39am On Sep 23, 2014 |
Piqued by the state of the nation, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, called for immediate action in order to to rescue the country from total collapse. In an interview he granted during his condolence visit to the widow of the late Vice Chairman of The Sun Publishing Ltd, Pastor Dimgba Igwe, Obioma, the former Lagos State governor spoke briefly on the problems confronting the nation and his rumoured sickness recently. Excerpts: 1)With the death of Dimgba Igwe, what have you to say on the state of the nation with the myriad of problems confronting her? At a period when oil revenue has remained stable for the last number of years at $100 per barrel, if the quality of life of our people is still as this, it is unfortunate. Poverty, insecurity, unemployment! In fact, if the per capita income of an individual, I mean the purchasing power of an individual is improved upon, you will be better off. That is the truth. And if the gap between the poor and the rich is widening and some few, very tiny people are moving towards the ceilings while some people remain on the floor, permanently on the floor, crawling, and wallowing in poverty.We have to think about the type of society we want to build. Here is a man’s house; simple. When you hear the name of Dimgba outside there, you will think he is wealthy. You will think he is living in affluence. On his part, you will see sign of someone still struggling economically in this environment. Is that the type of Nigeria we will continue to build with sentiments, emotions and wrong assumptions? All we have to do is to rescue our nation and build ourselves in a way that will bring happiness and prosperity to our people. That is what we should think about now. 2)People are worried about your health, what is the state of your health? My appearance puts an end to that rumour. Wait a minute. I have not taken a rest since 1994 after MKO Abiola’s election. In the Social Democratic Party (SDP) , days when we were in trenches, it was either you were in exile or somewhere else. It was a day-in-day- out working machine type of life. It is either one person was facing this direction or the other man facing the other direction. When the late Chief Anthony Enahoro came back, may his soul rest in peace, he came back with a walking stick. You know it was a gruesome period that nobody could sleep and take an adequate rest. Then came 1999; and ever since then, we have been on a political horse race, barefooted, fighting a war while some people are on the horse. The body must rest. A whole lot of you might not know. Sometimes I don’t go to bed until 4.30 in the morning and by 8:00 am I am already up answering questions and planning elections. 3)What then happened? I have promised myself and my family that, one day I will escape, go to rest and nobody would be able to reach me. And that was what I did. I didn’t do anything rather than general medical check up in April. Okay? It was not even up to a time to check. I went to my doctor friend to say do I have to, or do you have to examine me again with all these rumours going on? And he said forget it. Now, tomorrow, if you like I would bring my exercise bike out and I will ride for you. E-e-eh…There is nothing (wrong with me). That is the truth. I didn’t even have a need for a Panadol or Paracetamol since I have been away. That is the gospel truth. And if you go to Lagos State Ministry of Health, some people are insinuating that Lagos State is paying his medical bills. That he has been there. You go to the ministry and find out. 4)What then is your advice to journalists on this type of rumour? I think as a member and leader in this profession- Journalism, I will say you must be challenged to question some of these hearsays from those who will just go to Isi Ewu centers and cook stories because it tells on your profession, integrity and honesty. Again, if you try to cry wolf, wolf, wolf when there is none, the day wolf comes, nobody will be there to rescue you. Then, intellectually we have seen that in the area of politics, this is political genocide as far as I am concerned. Is there anybody there who had planted poison in my body, expecting it to incubate and germinate and kill me by now? Or hospitalize me by now? That is making my family members worried. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=83034 1 Like

The best way to solve a problem is to remove and replace the faulty components. Nigeria has the problem of bad leadership and corruption that has its roots in PDP - Just remove the PDP, and Nigeria will start the process of recuperation.

Look At this ALUU congregation posing as a thread. The idiotic supporters of the misruler and looter in Aso Rock, making billions of dollars disappear into thin air daily, are always the most vociferous in condemnation of a man who has no official position that influences their wretched lives either way. Talk about confused mumus suffering from Stockholm syndrome which leads them to worship their oppressors while looking for innocent people to lynch like thos ALUU savages who killed, in cold blood, those young Nigerians with their lives ahead of them. The person worsening your plight and leading your nation towards a future of corruption-driven bankruptcy, insecurity, economic failure, ethnic strife and moral collapse is the accidental leader in Aso Rock you all worship clannishly while coming here daily to rant against Tinubu like rabid dogs. 4 Likes |
