Tinubu, Osinbajo Blast PDP

Published

No matter the resistance, the All Progressive Congress would continue talk about and exposure the corruption that hallmarked the 16 years of the People’s Democratic Party say the celebrant and former Governor of Lagos State Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

They made the submission on Thursday that apologies by the ousted PDP were unacceptable because the party brought Nigeria to a sorry state.

Speaking at the 66th birthday colloquium held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Osinbajo said that the looting that took place under the PDP government especially in the last five years of the party was humongous.

He said it took the decision to adopt the Treasury Single Account for the government to discover how much is there in the Nigerian financial system.

Osinbajo said, “When the President insisted we must do TSA, we certainly discovered how much money was in the system.”

The Vice President said There is no country in the world that would allow its resources to be wasted the way “our resources have been spent there is no way you can expect that country to be economically viable”

He said there is no way the APC Government would keep quiet about the financial heist of the PDP because the party swore to protect the people.

He said, These are the people who voted for us . It is in the defence of these vulnerable people that we must talk about this corruption

“The criminal looting of this country cannot be allowed to continue and those responsible must be held accountable

“We have chosen to be on the side of the people and  we shall continue to be on the side of the people.”

Tinubu, while speaking said Nigerians should have expected that there would be challenges after the ouster of President Goodluck Jonathan given the alleged fraud PDP had committed.

He said, “Life is not interesting without challenges. We didn’t come with a logo for our party with honey! We came out with broom, bundled together, United.

“They say don’t talk about it! So what do you want us to talk about ?

“If we are not talking about it, then what is the lesson to all Nigerians.”

Tinubu said there is no way the PDP would come back to power adding that Nigerians only need to be patient with the Buhari’s administration.

“Forget those parties, they won’t come back.

“There are no nations without challenges. Look at America.

“You looted our resources. We will talk about it.

“Thank you Nigerians for being patient with us. There is a clear difference between us and them. Night and Day!”

In a veiled reference to a recent letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Tinubu said Obasanjo acted as if he had not seen the challenges of being a president before.

“Someone is writing letters

Bad belle letters! As if they have not been there before,” Tinubu said

He said before Buhari took over in 2015, Nigeria was at the verge of total wrecking adding that the APC is now fixing the rot of the PDP years.

Tinubu said, “The ship of this country headed in wrong direction. We are retooling Nigeria. We are reinventing Nigeria. It’s not an easy course to Embark on.

“Dear Nigerians, don’t take their apologies. They lied. They falsified. They gave false figures. And they don’t want us to talk about it. We shall talk about it.

“It’s like saying when you catch a thief he says don’t look at home, go and steal your own. “

He urged banks in the country to encourage credit facilities and make it for Nigerians to enjoy credit facilities to stimulate the economy.
