The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday defended a fight-for-power comment made by its 2023 presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in a viral video.

A member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Ayo Oyalowo said people deliberately twisted what Tinubu said in the video, noting that the APC presidential candidate is a promoter of peace and not violence.

“Political power is not going to be served in a restaurant. It is not served à la carte. It is being determined to do it at all cost, fight for it, grab it, snatch it,” Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, reportedly told some APC members in the viral video.

Oyalowo on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday said Tinubu’s statement does not in any way promote political violence.

“The candidate said power is not served à la carte, you must fight for it. How does it mean to fight for it? Fight for it means to go to every nook and cranny, say what you need to say, push the right buttons, speak with people and that is what he (Tinubu) has been doing,” the APC chieftain explained.

However, Daniel Bwala, a spokesman for the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar said Tinubu’s comment is undemocratic.
