* Says Tinubu's Wife, Oluremi, Will Be Defacto President, Ruling Nigeria With Her Cabal
Activist female politician, Hajia Naja`atu Muhammad, on Wednesday, rained more attacks on the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Party (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his associates, saying that it would be absurd for anyone to consider Tinubu as an offshoot of President Muhammadu Buhari administration whose stewardship she claimed as “woeful”.
Speaking in a Television interview on Wednesday, the erstwhile Director of Civil Societies of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), said Tinubu's Wife, Senator Oluremi and a few "hangers-on around the APC candidate" would be the de facto rulers of Nigeria, should the APC presidential candidate win the 2023 presidential election.
Reiterating her claim that her two hour interaction with Tinubu in London revealed what she claimed as his physical and mental incapacity, she said that it would as such be crazy for anyone to sustain her perceived failure of the government of President Buhari through Tinubu simply because it was “his turn” to be president.
Naja`atu Muhammad, the northern political gadfly, spoke in an interview on AIT’s Kakaaki, a breakfast morning programme monitored on Wednesday.
Dismissing insinuations that she resigned her position or was sacked, she said:
“I have never in my life done anything for money. I am a business woman. I don’t do politics for the sake of politics. I was born into a political family. My father was a member NEPU (Northern Elements Progressive Union), my husband was killed, assassinated because of his views. I have been poisoned. I was seven months in Germany to have a reconstructive surgery. I went to prison twice because of what I believe in. I can’t waste my time here.”
She said she wrote her letter of resignation more than a month ago but was held back by one of her political mentors.
Sustaining her claims on the mental and physical incapacity of the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, she said:
“They go to rallies and Asiwaju cannot even decipher. I sat with him for two hours, most of the time he was sleeping. You ask him question on this and he is talking completely different from what you are discussing. So, how on earth? What is wrong with Nigerians,” she asked?
She continued: Somebody told me that I was trying to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea. So, I said I had rather go with the deep sea. If Allah helps me, I will be like Jonah. Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish and God Almighty delivered him, He will deliver me.
“But in this case, there is no winning with the devil and in this case, Asiwaju is the devil, there is no winning. You cannot relate with a person that has lost it upstairs (memory). If he is physically unfit but mentally okay, we can manage that. At least, you know you can hold him accountable. But in this case, you know that those hangers-on are only pushing him knowing that they will be the beneficiaries. He is just there like an idol. His wife (Senator Oluremi Tinubu) will be doing the ruling. She would rule over the country and the other hangers-on.
"They even hate Asiwaju as far as I am concerned, because you cannot put somebody that is ill mentally into a position of leadership. This thing will come back and consume everyone of us,” she said.
Naja`atu Muhammad who also expressed her disappointment with the Buhari administration, however, said that it was untenable for Tinubu to want to continue where the out-going administration would stop.
“Buhari cannot swathe a fly. He pretends as if he doesn’t know. Buhari is such a weakling or pretends to be such a weakling because when it serves his personal progress then you will see him taking a position. But quite honestly, he has woefully failed this country. He has woefully failed us up North.
“So, when Tinubu begins to say that he will continue where Buhari stops, it then becomes crazy for anyone to even think of voting for the APC,” Naja`atu Muhammad said. “Why should we?", she asked. (source: gwg.ng). NNL.
