The Chairman, All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos State Chapter, Otunba Henry Ajomale has described the incessant media attacks on the leaders of the party as a sign of the Peoples Democratic Party’s desperation to cling tight to power.
Reacting to a documentary being aired by a Lagos-based television station on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Lagos APC boss said the documentary was cooked up, wondering why the PDP could go to such an extent in the name of politics.
according to Ajomale, “I cannot understand why people could go to the extent of conjuring destructive lies against their fellow beings in the name of politics, trying to bring down a man like Tinubu who has done so much for this country.
“They said he trafficked cocaine, served a jail term and his money forfeited in 1993, the same year the astute politician was serving at the National Assembly as a Senator of the Federal Republic. How could someone be serving a jail term and be at the senate at the same time?
“Before then, he was in Mobil as the treasurer. They claimed that he owns Oriental Hotel, why did they not go to the C.A.C. to verify whether he has anything to do with the hotel or not?
“The PDP is living up to its name as People Destroying People by going to the ridiculous extent of conjuring lies against people. The party is dominated by professional liars who are too desperate to hold on to power.”
He pointed out that the PDP claimed in the documentary that the former Lagos State governor owned First Nation Airlines without proper checks and also attributed the ownership of HITECH which belongs to the Chagouris to the APC national leader.
Ajomale also warned against another shift in the election date, saying it would endanger the nation’s peace because there was nowhere in Nigeria’s Constitution that you must postpone election beyond a certain date.
