Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader
of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has advised Nigerians not to
accept the recent apology offered by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) over the mistakes made as Nigeria’s ruling party for 16 years.
Mr Tinubu asked Nigerians not to listen to the
apology while speaking at a colloquium organized to mark his 66th birthday in
Lagos themed “Investing in People” on Thursday, March 29.
The APC chieftain said the apology by the PDP
is a deceit to dupe Nigerians to get a political advantage.
He noted that
the PDP brought the country to its current poor economic situation as a result
of enormous corruption during the party’s years of governance and as such, the
party should not be allowed to return to power again.
He said
“Nigerians should not accept PDP’s apologies, they are corrupt, they lied, they
falsified, they changed figures. For 16years, they made fake promises, gave us
fake figures, and they tell us, ‘Don’t talk about it’. It is like, after
catching a thief and he tells you ‘Don’t look at me, go and steal your own.”
SaharaReporters
reported that the PDP National Chairman, Mr Uche Secondus had at a recent event
apologized to Nigerians for the ‘mistakes’ the party made while in power.
However, Mr Tinubu said the PDP had the
opportunity to transform the country and set it on the path of progress with
high oil price and high oil production level, but did not take the initiative.
The ruling
party chieftain said the change promised by the APC would be delivered to the
country by the party.
He said that
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is taking steps to deliver on
the promises despite the opposing odds.
He said “The
voyage is on, the voyage of hope, the voyage that will change Nigeria for the
better.”
In his remarks,
Mr Buhari declared Mr. Tinubu as a political strategist and a man who cared for
the people.
He said the
giant strides of recorded by Mr Tinubu in governance are a reference point in
development.
The president
congratulated him on his 66th birthday and wished him all the best in his
endeavours.
