True Federalism, the way out for Nigeria and this can only be achieved by Bola Ahmed Tinubu – Musa Adeola Taoheed
The Ondo State chairman for patriots of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr Musa Adeola has revealed that true Federalism is the way out for Nigeria and that, it can only be achieved by the all progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Musa Adeola on a live streaming interview programme with our heritage reporter on Sunday evening responding to interview questions anchored by Nifemi Gideon repeatedly reassured Nigerians to expect the best from Bola Ahmed Tinubu if he eventually becomes the president of Nigeria in 2023.
What are the plans of patriots of Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards 2023 general election
According to Mr Musa Adeola, our plans is to harness resources, people most expecially the undecisive voters to take the campaign to there door step .for example I leave car at home and go on okada ,be in their parks ,sometime we will be in buses or taxi to take the good news to them. that is what all of us are doing at Pobat. we give reason and why they should vote for our candidate, by god grace we are doing that successfully .this is what we stand for at pobat.
Those who are on fence are huge population. Only few belong to party A and B.at pobat our duty is to work on those population, annexing voters for Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
We also stand to showcase the the worth of Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a true leader to all Nigerians irrespective of the party they belong. In 2012 during Aketi first contest we share this great idea with asiwaju ,we met him at lagos House, we tagged it YOUTH VOLUNTEERS then. He embraced it but something came up, so we are replicating it for him now. by God grace he will win the election come February.
Why would you choose Bola Ahmed Tinubu before the likes of obi, Atiku and Kwankwaso
We have to check people antecedents when we talk about good governance or leadership prowess, we have had a lot of try and errors in Nigeria, but this time around, we must go for the best and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains the best among all other contenders.
we have been on this since 1999, Nigeria need to move to the next level and asiwaju is the best among them to drive the vision of next level, he will kick-start the process and kick the ball rolling immediately he is sworn in by God grace .
We know the history of all presidential candidates, Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a stand out, when you look at it from Lagos State angle , a cosmopolitan state that is competing with other African countries not Nigeria states. he governed it successfully even during the crises of opc ,bumb blast in ikeja cantonment. He is relax and calculative and mature mind in all aspect .
The developments we all witness in lagos today was base of Based on the direction laid down by Him and his team, a man of vision and he selected the team across Nigeria irrespective of tribes and religion, as we all know that direction is far better than speed.
The day buhari was unveling dangote fertiliser production plant in Lagos Governor, babajide Sanwolu, said something that is fundamental, he said Asiwaju lead them to China when the entire team proposed the establishment of Lekki free trade zone ,the Governor was special adviser then and you can see the impact today in Lagos, hence Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a stand out, another angle you will look at it asiwaju is a talent hunter,he is a democrat, he doesn’t proof to know it all alone.you need to listen to him .
Governor sanwoolu was part of the team he led to China and today the same person is on the driver sit as governor of lagos state. you could see leadership and mentorship, they are siamese twin we want all that to be duplicated at the Center Abuja.
The issue of vote buying is now the order of day during election period in Nigeria, is there anyway this can be curtailed in our present day society
The issue of vote buying all depends on the people, it’s possible to reject money and vote for concience, it happens in the last Guber election in Ondo State, I saw it, people rejected money and vote for Thier choice. but above all the level of poverty is the major factor behind this ,I hope with time we can get over it.
You cannot isolate or pin it down to a particular party, the whole political parties are involved.but this time around, we have a sellable candidate who does not really need to buy votes on election day before he can win.
Right from the return of democracy in 1991, Lagos votes have always been swept by Tinubu’s party, now with the influence of a popular nollywood actress as the deputy governoship candidate of the opposition party, would you accept that there will be a change of tune in the Lagos results?
Lagos election results have been in favour of Tinubu party since 1999 because he its the most hardworking politician in Lagos,you must follow who know road, his party is a progressive party, asiwaju is a democrat all he does is to listen to everybody. Whoever with superior arguments carry the day. To Funke Akindele, she does not know anything about good governance, sometimes ago when she was interviewed on the issue of holdup building up in lagos Road ,she said those in authority are sharing money to themselves. She digress from very important topic to showcase herself what she could offer if given opportunity. sincerely the answers she gave out really proved that she does not know anything about lagos as cosmopolitan state and governance in general .
The fact is that lagosians are elites,they can’t trade with their future, they can’t risk it, Its a dangerous risk, they can never joke with Thier future, and mind you nobody could influence lagos election is the Lagos is most observed from across all the world, the international international local observer’s concentrate on lagos even more than Abuja. they might not be able to go to remote areas in Jigawa or here in Ondo State,but they follow and observed and monitored Lagos election at length.
Lagosian cannot abandon development to embrace unprofessional joker , look at the development going on presently in Lagos, the likes of city train first of all kinds in Nigeria, the Lekki free trade zone, these are multi billion dollars project then you will see the needs why lagosians will always support Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
From a personal experience and full understanding of Nigeria electoral act, is there any thing that can distrupt 2023 from holding
Outside insecurity and I believe the government is doing well on the issue of insecurity and the fund allocation to INEC , outside this two I don’t see anything that can inder the 2023 general election from holding, The president is serious about it and he want to leave an enduring legacy behind .
The point is that all the parties love Nigeria, they don’t want a break down, they don’t want problem, the issue of IPOB will be tackled before election, because they have thier Son contesting too , they have governors, senator’s,house of representatives member, house of assembly member so there is government there, it’s all about agitation.
If you want to be President of Nigeria it’s all about negotiations, you have to extend hand shake Across Niger, you can not just seat somewhere and expect manner, its democracy you have to participate to get something, it’s a game of number.
What has been the body language of the people from across the three major ethnic groups which comprises of Yoruba, Igbo and hausa about Tinubu candidacy
Muslim Muslim tickets is not a problem, am In Ondo State now the governor is a Christian from owo so also the deputy governor is also a Christian from ilaje and am a Muslim, religion shouldn’t be my headache but good governance, because I don’t go to their church with them, religion should should limit at place of worship. what affect my daily life is the government policy direction. Open up government and democratise it so that everyone could have irrespective of religion ,tribes and colour , take for example free education, nobody can stop anybody except if you refuse to enroll your ward.
Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is everywhere, the women wing are in Calabar yesterday,the presidential campaign is Lagos and youth wing in Kano, the love is massive because they love him based on his antecedents, you can see the atmosphere.
The greatest luck for APC is for picking Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as thier candidate,if otherwise I don’t know it could have been something else today.
Nigeria is an heterogeneous nation whose unity must be upholded at length, which of the three major contenders can be best instrumental on this subject
We have seen the example in Lagos State, the commissioner for energy resources today is from Katsina State,in the past under tinubu, ben akabuese was a commissioner of budget and today he is with federal government in federal bureau of budget as DG director for budget planning, Joe igbokwe is the senior special adviser of drainage and all others, he has laid example in Lagos, we have seen him doing it, people believe in him, there is no doubting people love him,go to the North people are dumping atiku and crossing to apc because of Tinubu
Tinubu is not a sectional leader, he embraced the young ,the old and everyone across all ethnic groups .in Nigeria look at the Rossy welcome he received in Warri and gbamaturu and chieftains tittle was accorded to him. Same in ebonyi and many state across the country, look at the crowd you will see that he is truly loved by Nigerians.
What should Nigerians expect differently, if Bola Ahmed Tinubu eventually wins the 2023 general election
Nigerians should expect the best, For the first time , people that participated in bringing back democracy to Nigeria, a pro democracy activists, who really stood against ,fought military out of power are now in charge .you can compare Tinubu with likes of beko ransome kuti of late memory, the femi falana ,senator shehu saani etc . there will be true practice of federalism in Nigeria.The issue of resources control can best be implemented by old alliance for Democracy team, hey are the initiator that saw the vision and that is the way out of Nigeria self imposed problem.
Each state with her own peculiarities and advantages and it must be all harness for the greatness of all Nigerians.irrespective of tribes ,colour and religion . This will fast track development and double digit economy across board.
On most occasion people concentrated on federal government, federal government can only do little, they have to relieve federal government on most of there responsibility. Apart from policy direction .tell me why federal governmentmust involve in agri business? The last time a director in the ministry were been question by the house of rep committe on how he spent 18bn in Bush clearing during covid.imagine Akeredolu got such money here in ondo state ,he will perform wonder with it .so that money just got lost. More responsibilities and more money should go to states, so that the state can execute more developmental project s, it’s only when there is even development across states with healthy competition then there come accelerated development.
Just imagine stamp duties,vat and in the area of monthly allocation from Abuja the sharing formula will be shifted in favour of state like 70/30 among the federation unit in favour of state and local governments. there will be more revenue, you will see that there will be developments all around, the power in Abuja should be more lean, let each state use their resources to develop themselves, Musa Adeola concluded.
