Tinubu made same promises he’s campaigning with now when he campaigned for Buhari in 2015. He has nothing new to offer – Former Minister. Nduese Essien

Nduese Essien, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party in Akwa Ibom State and former Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development has said that presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the 2023 presidential election, Bola Tinubu, has nothing new to offer Nigeria.

The former who averred that Tinubu’s promise of his administration making the Naira at par with the US Dollar is a mere campaign gimmick which cannot fly, also said that the APC presidential candidate made same promises when he was campaigning for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

Essien who stressed that Tinubu’s party could not fulfill its promises to the country, asked why the APC presidential candidate failed to assist President Buhari in arresting the steady fall of the Naira against other international currencies.

Essien also said Tinubu may likely follow the economic path of Buhari, if voted into power.

He said;

“Tinubu made this kind of promise in 2015 when he was campaigning for Muhammadu Buhari, and seven years down the line, he couldn’t show the president how to appreciate the Naira.

“Why then should anybody with knowledge of how the global economy works, believe him?

“That’s how it started in 2014, leading to the opposition against President Goodluck Jonathan on how the Naira will be at par with the USA Dollar if Buhari is voted to power.

“Why has Tinubu failed to assist President Buhari in arresting the steady fall of the Naira against other international currencies but waiting until he becomes President in 2023 before he miraculously intervened?

“International currencies are not manipulated the way Bola Tinubu surreptitiously took the Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited Headquarters to Lagos away from its area of operations to the detriment of the Oil Producing Areas and has continued to sustain its maintenance there despite all the protests from the rest of the country and in keeping with international best practice.

“Tinubu cannot be trusted because as the leader of the All Progressive Congress, the party has failed the country in all its campaign promises, he has nothing new to offer the nation.”

Tinubu’s decision to pick a Muslim as his running mate is that he decided to look at the Christians in the face and say “Uwaka”- Prophet Isa El-Buba Tinubu?s decision to pick a Muslim as his running mate is that he decided to look at the Christians in the face and say ?Uwaka Plateau-based clergyman, Prophet Isa El-Buba, says the decision by APC Presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to pick a Muslim as his running mate for the 2023 Presidential election, implies that he decided to look at the Christians in Nigeria in the face and say “Uwaka,” an abusive word in Hausa. El-Buba said this in an interview with Punch. He mentioned that it is sacriligious for the APC to fly a Muslim-Muslim ticket. ”It’s a sacrilege. That decision is injurious to the faith of a people. Nigeria’s population is about 230 million. More than half of that number is Christians. You can only joke with that population at your own peril politically. On the average, there are more than 50 million Christians in northern Nigeria alone. You can’t try to neglect, abuse or look down on a people that control this large number. Even if they are 10 million, they need to be recongnised properly. You can’t say that out of 50 million people, there is no competent person to be the Vice President. Generally, no political party in Nigeria in its right senses should have contemplated fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket or Christian-Christian ticket. Nigeria has not matured to that level. It will take years for such trust and confidence to be built in the people. There has been this outcry of Islamic agenda. How do you justify this one faith ticket and disabuse the minds of the people on that? It’s unheard of! Let’s not even go that way but you could see the structure under the APC administration – President, Muslim; Senate President, Muslim; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muslim, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Muslim; National Chairman of the APC, Muslim; presidential candidate, Muslim and now you are also bringing a Muslim as Vice Presidential candidate. With that, you are already giving credence to what the people are saying about an agenda to Islamise Nigeria. There is a saying that wherever you see smoke, there must be fire, no matter how small it is. That is the reality. So, it is an abuse. Even the Muslims themselves are not happy with the decision of the APC to field a Muslim-Muslim ticket. I have hundreds of messages in my phone from our Muslim brothers expressing themselves and saying that they are not happy with the APC’s decision because that is like trying to hurt a family that is trying to build itself.”he said Speaking further, the clergyman said; ”My understanding of Tinubu’s decision to pick a Muslim as his running mate is that he decided to look at the Christians in the face and say “Uwaka,” which is an abusive word in Hausa. Go to communities and towns in Kano, Kaduna, Gombe, Borno, Plateau, Niger, Nassarawa and every other state in the North, that is the feeling of Christians. The feelings are the same across the states in the South. You need to interact with the people to see the anger.”
