I Pity Those Saying My Supposed Presidential Ambition Is Dead – Tinubu by Omooba77: 6:29pm On Jun 27, 2020
All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu, says he pities those saying his purported ambition to be President in 2023 is dead.

Tinubu said this in a statement on Saturday while reacting to the dissolution of the National Working Committee by the party’s National Executive Council.

He said, “To those who have been actively bleating how the President’s actions and the NEC meeting have ended my purported 2023 ambitions, I seek your pity.


“I am but a mere mortal who does not enjoy the length of foresight or political wisdom you profess to have. Already, you have assigned colourful epitaphs to the 2023 death of an alleged political ambition that is not yet even born.”

Tinubu, who did not deny or affirm whether he had a Presidential ambition, said there was no time for such due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.

He said he would rather busy himself with how to ensure the economic recovery of the country.


The former Lagos State governor stated, “During this period, I have not busied myself with politicking regarding 2023. I find that a bit distasteful and somewhat uncaring particularly when so many of our people have been unbalanced by the twin public health and economic crises we face.


“I have devoted these last few months to thinking of policies that may help the nation in the here and now. What I may or may not do 3 years hence seems too remote given present exigencies.”


He said he had toiled for the success of the APC just like any other individual and he would continue to make sacrifices to ensure that the party remains on the path of progress.

Tinubu added, “I have toiled for this party as much as any other person and perhaps more than most. Despite this investment or perhaps due to it, I have no problem with making personal sacrifices (and none of us should have such a problem) as long as the party remains true to its progressive, democratic creed. Politics is but a vehicle to arrive at governance.


“Good politics promotes good governance. Yet, politics is also an uncertain venture. No one gets all they want all the time. In even a tightly-woven family, differences and competing interests must be balanced and accommodated.”

Very dangerous cunning man, always claiming he's innocent while others are the one plotting for 2023, whats wrong in admitting that you're interested in being a president, you were strategically positioning your forces....


Never trust a man like Tinubu... Men like him will look innocent and silently excute a coup during the military era..


All we hear is his business thinking and sorting out the economy of Nigeria, is that his job



TINUBU YOUR MASTER STRATEGY DIDN'T WORK THIS TIME, ABEG CHANGE TACTICS

The recent dissolution of the NWC of the APC has really jolted Tinubu to the extent that he has turned to a newspaper columnist. Everyday since the shocker from PMB, he has been writing all sorts of editorials vainly trying to attempt damage control.

i laugh cos the new kids on the block don't take prisoners. They are ruthless.

But some people said buhari wasn't incharge?

Where are those cabals they said that are running the government?

How come on his order, everywhere remained still? With everyone queuing in place on his directives?

Why do people hate unnecessary so much? Is it like this the country will rise to stardom?

Misinformation and hate... Damn we re worst than I imagined embarassed

Read a while ago that he's still undecided.

The statement punch quoted says "I seek your pity" meaning the people making such claims should pity him. Punch has always been a toilet paper compare this with the thread that made front page, you will see that Punch is infusing its own agenda and mixing their opinion into his statement which clearly refuted their claims he has a 2023 presidential ambition.

As usual Toilet paper like Punch survive on political perfidy and will always choose now misinforming it's readers than actual journalism.

Tunde Rahman. Read below;

"To those who have been actively bleating how the President’s actions and the NEC meeting have ended my purported 2023 ambitions, I seek your pity. I am but a mere mortal who does not enjoy the length of foresight or political wisdom you profess to have. Already, you have assigned colourful epitaphs to the 2023 death of an alleged political ambition that is not yet even born."

"At this extenuating moment with COVID-19 and its economic fallout hounding us, I cannot see as far into the distance as you. I have made no decision regarding 2023 for the concerns of this hour are momentous enough."

"During this period, I have not busied myself with politicking regarding 2023. I find that a bit distasteful and somewhat uncaring particularly when so many of our people have been unbalanced by the twin public health and economic crises we face. I have devoted these last few months to thinking of policies that may help the nation in the here and now. What I may or may not do 3 years hence seems too remote given present exigencies."

"Those who seek to cast themselves as political Nostradamus’ are free to so engage their energies. I trust the discerning public will give the views of such eager seers the scant weight such divinations warrant."

"Personally, I find greater merit trying to help in the present by offering policy ideas, both privately and publicly, where I think they might help. I will continue in this same mode for the immediate future. 2023 will answer its own questions in due time."

"I have toiled for this party as much as any other person and perhaps more than most. Despite this investment or perhaps due to it, I have no problem with making personal sacrifices (and none of us should have such a problem) as long as the party remains true to its progressive, democratic creed. Politics is but a vehicle to arrive at governance. Good politics promotes good governance. Yet, politics is also an uncertain venture. No one gets all they want all the time. In even a tightly-woven family, differences and competing interests must be balanced and accommodated."

"My fellow party members who now feel aggrieved by the NEC meeting I urge you to accept the sacrifice you have been asked to make so that the air can be cleared, the party can assume its proper role of helping this government lead the nation toward enlightened improvement, and the party itself can grow and firmly establish itself as the best, most democratic party in the land." the statement read in part.

Omooba77:


Most of these people are their benefactors. giving them pass me down. They will not raise a finger against them

Did you raise eye talkless of your finger when GEJ was ruthlessly wrecking the finances of the nation while your beloved Pandemic Development Party was flowing crumbs to your side?

Once you remove feeding bottle from their hand they will want to scatter everything, that in itself is morally bankrupt.
