Festus Keyamo, spokesman for the presidential campaign council of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has bragged with photos from the carnival-like rally held for his principal on Saturday in Lagos State.
Throwing a sharp shade at supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, among other opponents of the APC, Festus Keyamo shared photos from Tinubu’s Lagos rally which he believes has a better turnout than that of the oppositions.
He wrote: “Pictures from the Lagos rally. We said when the jungle matures, the cubs will take cover when the lions begin to prowl. The lions are majority of Lagosians & the cubs are the noisy minority who think they can abuse their way to power.”
Tinubu’s rally held The Teslim Balogun Stadium amid water-tight security.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi had urged Nigerians to vote for whomever they deem fit in 2023 including Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Giving a funny reply to a question seeking to know if he plans to sue the ruling All Progressives Congress presidential candidate for perjury and falsification of his documents on INEC platform, Peter Obi said: “I want to stay on the issue. I don’t want to discuss about any Candidate but if Nigerians want a goat to be in charge of the leadership of the country, then so be it.”
Reactions have since trailed the eccentric reply from the Labour Party presidential candidate.
Controversy Surrounding Tinubu’s Educational Qualifications
An investigation into the Chicago State University certificate submitted by Tinubu to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, shows that it was allegedly downloaded from a social media platform, Pinterest.
On Twitter David Hundeyin, an investigative journalist, who carried out the investigation wrote on the micro-blogging platform saying: “So it has really come to this in Nigeria? The ruling party’s candidate respects us so little that he submits an online certificate forgery template to INEC? This is what and where we are in 2022? This is it? We’re really that useless and unrated?”
Most worrisome for the APC presidential candidate, an Abuja-based lawyer identified as Barrister Mike filed charges bordering on perjury and document falsification against him.
The development was made known by David Hundeyin during an interview on Arise TV.
On social media, critics of Mr Tinubu called for the APC presidential candidate’s disqualification from the 2023 general election in reaction to Hundeyin’s report.
Meanwhile, Tinubu has continued to trend recently for negative reasons.
Sadly for him, a United States company, Deloitte, where he claimed that he made $1.8 million from salaries and bonuses while working a consultancy job, denied employing him.
David Hundeyin shared a letter from the company following a subpoenaed order to it.
He wrote: “Bola Ahmed Tinubu has claimed that he made $1.8 million from salaries and bonuses while working a consultancy job at Deloitte USA.
“So we subpoenaed Deloitte USA to provide evidence of Tinubu’s employment and staff payment records, and this is what came back.”
