Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday described the national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, as the hero of the current democratic dispensation in Nigeria.
APC stated this in a statement in Ibadan by its Oyo State Publicity Secretary, Dr AbdulAzeez Olatunji, to felicitate with the former governor of Lagos and Jagaban Borgu on his 69th birthday anniversary.
The party stated, “Looking right, left, centre, up and down, one would certainly and obviously be seeing the wonderful legacy of this builder of men and resources. Honestly, any attempt to take on the imprint of this hero of the current democratic dispensation is a voyage to a volume of his biography which this is not meant for.
“A quick recourse to the 2003 Abracadabra general election in Nigeria where the electoral umpire, INEC superintended over the political Tsunami of five governors of the legacy party – Alliance for Democracy (AD), where the election swept away AD governors of Ogun, Chief Segun Osoba, Oyo, late Lam Adesina, Osun, Chief Bisi Akande, Ondo, late Chief Adebayo Adefarati and Ekiti, Chief Niyi Adebayo”, it said.
Oyo APC added, “If one thinks of the politico-electoral treachery of the government at the center at wiping off the AD is over, surely, no. The fate that would befall the only surviving opposition government party from the western part of Nigeria is better imagined when Lagos state government under the leadership of the mercurial Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, exercised its constitutional right of creating LCDA, local council development authorities to ensure more representation and taking government closer to the people.”
