Naira Crisis, fuel Scarcity Are Schemes To Discourage People Not To Vote For APC — Tinubu
On Wednesday, January 25, the presidential candidate for the APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stated that the current New naira policy’s situation and the fuel scarcity are plots to wreck the coming general election.
He stated these during the APC presidential campaign rally at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta.
The APC presidential candidate emphasised that fuel condition along with the inability of the CBN to release enough newly redesigned naira notes were staged to discourage Nigerians from voting for the APC.
However, Tinubu further expresses courage and determination as he assure that he would be the winner in the forthcoming presidential election, regardless of plots and threat to sabotage the process.
“Even if they said there is no fuel, we will trek to vote. They have a lot of mischief; they could say there is no fuel. They have been scheming to create fuel crisis, but forget about it.
“Relax, I, Asiwaju, have told you that the issue of fuel supply will be permanently addressed. Whoever wants to eat the honey embedded in a mountain won’t worry about the axe. Is that not so? And if you want to eat palm kernel, you would bring stone and use it to break it, then the kernel will come out.
“Let them increase the price of fuel, only them know where they have hoarded fuel, they hoarded money, they hoarded naira; we will go and vote and we will win. Even if they changed the ink on naira notes.
Whatever their plans, it will come to nought. We are going to win. Those in the PDP will lose (won ma lule).
“I am homeboy, I have come here, you will not be put to shame, we will take over the government from them, the traitors who wanted to contest with us. They had no experience.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax. They don’t want this election to be held, they want to scuttle it. Will you allow them?”
Tinubu further declares his ambition for the people if elected. He assured provision of financial aid to students in the form of loans to avert the cause to drop out from school due to lack of financial support.
He also promised to end the consistent strikes damaging the education sector in the country.
“On this one, I’m guaranteeing you one thing: there will be a student loan. Nobody will drop out of the university because of school fees. I guarantee you that. Nobody will have to repeat for eight years, and not graduate.
“Haba! We are too smart, we are brilliant, we are courageous, we are sharp, we will make a four years course. Do you agree? Will you vote whether there is fuel or not? Call your sister, we are bringing revolution. Let me say what’s on my mind. The other day, I told you. This one too, they think they can cause a crisis by sabotaging fuel supply.
“They are sabotaging fuel supply. Whether there is fuel or not, whether there is okada (motorcycle) or not, whether there is tricycle or not, we will go and vote and we shall win. This is a superior revolution and when I tell you, you know what I mean. You know me, we are going there to win.”
“They have started coming up with the issue of ‘no fuel’. Don’t worry, if there is no fuel, we will trek to cast the vote.
“If you like increase price of fuel, hide the fuel or change the ink on the naira notes, we will win the election,” he illustrated.
