Naja’atu Mohammed, a former director of civil society in the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC), has claimed that the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will be prevented from receiving 25% of the vote in the Northern States.
Naja’atu made the announcement during a speech to supporters at the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential rally in Adamawa State on Saturday.
“Nigeria belongs to all of us.” The APC claims to have a president and 23 governors. They are attempting to achieve this by obtaining 25% of the total votes cast.
“You must prevent this from happening. You must prevent the APC from receiving 25% of your votes from the North. He doesn’t need us, and neither do we.”
Recall that the APC PCC had said Naja’atu was sacked due to incompetence and for leaking vital information about the Party.
Adviser Public Affairs, Tinubu Media Office, Mahmud Jega, had described her resignation as hasty and preemptive after the campaign council discovered her leakage of sensitive information to opposition parties.
Countering the APC PCC claim, Naja’atu said everything about Tinubu is motivated by money.
She said,
“This is the first time that I know that governors do not even sponsor the presidential campaign. Normally the governor sponsors the presidential campaign in his State, but this time around, it is Asiwaju that is doing it.
“Everything about Asiwaju is about money, there’s nothing like honour. For God’s sake what do we want? Can we continue to wallow in this, can we continue to deceive ourselves, who are we lying to? We are only lying to ourselves. We see these things. The truth has been written on the horizon. Why are we now turning the other eye?”
Speaking on her resignation, she said,
“as far as my expulsion from the APC is concerned, what took them so long? They should have told the public before I resigned, but they kicked me out unfortunately because they are so silly, they are saying after my resignation, they actually kicked me out.
“They have no respect for the psyche of Nigerians. They think we are all a bunch of idiots. We are not, we can think. I took my time because they pleaded with me. I am a Muslim. He said in the name of Allah…In the name of Allah please accept this appointment. I respect your stance. I said he should give me a blueprint, but he said he doesn’t have a blueprint,” she added.
Hmmmmm Nigeria
