Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party, (LP,PCC) Presidential Campaign Council, Yunusa Tanko has cautioned that the speech of power grabbing by All Progressives Congress’ (APC’s) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu in a London restaurant was capable of propelling massive violence in 2023 general elections.
Recall that the APC presidential made this assertion in trending video recorded at a London restaurant while addressing his supporters in the diaspora.
Tanko made this disclosure in an interview with journalists in Abuja after carefully examining Tinubu’s speech where he declared that political power should be “grabbed and you run away with it”.
The LP Chief Spokesman said”this coming from a presidential candidate is too unpresidential. “How can a man who wants to govern over 200 million Nigerians use such words.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate to go to a civilised clime and start talking about power grabbing in a UK restaurant for that matter and I doubt if the APC presidential candidate has even bothered to sign the peace accord for 2023 polls.
“If he has done so, then his vituperations on grabbing power come what may calls to questio because this is capable of making his sup porters resort to violence to deliver votes.
“Elections must be conducted in violence free environment and Tinubu saying things like this is really unpalatable barely three months to the presidential election.
“It’s saddening to hear one of us the most experienced politician in Nigeria talking in this manner and people were clapping and hailing him.
