A member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Abdul Wahab Olawale Alawiye-King, has condemned in strong terms, the alleged attempt by some people to silence one of the leaders of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and immediate past governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Reacting to a report alleging that some people were making secret and dangerour moves to employ the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to intimidate him as well as compromise his security to expose his life to danger, the lawmaker representing Lagos Island Constituency 2 in the House, said such plan will not succeed.
According to him, Tinubu, as a political leader, has remained a force to reckon with in the nation’s politics and any plan to stop him would amount to stopping the progressives’ train, adding that such plan will be in futility.
“Those who arrested the nation’s progress through their brand of policies which involves massive rigging and perpetration of violence have seen the handwriting on the wall and that their game is over. Such people are now seeking another means of stopping the man believed to be brain behind the political victories recorded in the South West states in recent times and they should know that their secret plot has been exposed,†said Alawiye-King in a statement yesterday.
