Buhari will get 95% of votes even if old angry men refuse to vote him, Tinubu replies Obasanjo

Bola Tinubu

National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as one of the “expired leaders” that should have retired to his farm and remained quiet.

Tinubu said this on Monday at Ramat Square Complex, Maiduguri, Borno State, during President Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential campaign.

He boasted that if the association of persons he described as “angry old men” refuses to vote President Muhammadu Buhari, he will still get 95% of votes.

“It is unfortunate that expired leaders like Olusegun Obasanjo is ranting and lying. Don’t trust him.

“We are sweeping all the cobwebs of corruption away with broom out of Nigeria. Ota Farm should be enough a retirement place for Obasanjo,” Tinubu said.

He added, “Who among Nigerians will recall how the PDP government under Obasanjo had been notorious for rigging elections.

“No government has upheld the tenets of democracy like the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We asked for the recognition of June 12 from Obasanjo, he refused; but President Muhammadu Buhari, as an honest man with integrity, heard our cry and recognised June 12.

“Even if the Forum of Association of Angry Old Men refuses to vote for Buhari, we will give him 95 percent votes.”

In his speech at the campaign, APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, said Obasanjo’s “attack” was done “out of frustration” when he said that the South-South which used to be the stronghold of PDP had “caught the Buhari fever.”

He said Obasanjo was “unsettled” when he saw what happened in Delta State during the APC campaign there, and “hurriedly went to the toilet for five times due to running stomach.”
