The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, at his campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River state, lambasted president Buhari on his handling of the economy.
Tinubu’s comments comes barely few days after his Abeokuta outburst on the hoarding of fuel and new Naira notes by the administration of Buhari.
According to Tinubu, “Today, they moved the exchange rate from N200 to N800. If they had repaired it, if they had arrested this, we won’t be where we are today, we will be greater. “They don’t know the way, they don’t know how to think, they don’t know how to do,” the former Lagos governor said.
However, the former Lagos governor had denied that the Abeokuta outburst was targeted at president Buhari but at the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar.
Tinubu, made this latest statement while addressing a mammoth crowd of APC stalwarts and supporters that trooped out to grace the presidential campaign of the party in Calabar.
The APC leader who arrived Calabar in company of his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, alongside other party members said: “We mean what we say. When we took over in Lagos, we said what we’ll do in Lagos, and we did it. Today Lagos is exceptionally rich and functional.”
“They (PDP) mismanaged the nation’s economy, and privatised assets of the country to themselves and their cronies. Don’t mind them with their lies of 16 years, they cannot even provide electricity to roast corn. They kept lying, electricity that is generated from our hydro, they don’t know how to do it”, Tinubu stated.
