'PDP SHOULD KEEP QUIET. THEY CREATED THE PROBLEMS WE ARE CLEANING NOW' -Tinubu.

The National Leader of the ruling All Progressives
Congress (APC), Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, has
asked the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic
Party to keep its mouth shut if it has nothing
meaningful to say.
Tinubu strongly warned members of the former ruling
party to remain silent on national issues because they
ruined the country before their exit on Many 29.
He stated this while speaking with State House
correspondents after visiting President Muhammadu
Buhari, along with Bisi Akande at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja on Wednesday.
His visit is coming barely 24 hours after former
president, Olusegun Obasanjo also visited the
Presidential Villa.
The former Lagos State governor also refuted the report
in some quarters that himself, former Vice President
Atiku Abubakar and former interim National Chairman
of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, were battling over who
would emerge as the chairman of the party’s Board of
Trustees (BoT).
He insisted that the party was focused on supporting
President Buhari to achieve his goal of transforming
the nation.
He said, “Don’t listen to rumours, there is no struggle.
Our party is not even looking at the direction of power
struggle or anything of such.
“The support structure is to encourage and support the
President as you have heard from Chief Bisi Akande, to
help him institutionalize his goal, principle and vision
for a new Nigeria.”
On people attacking the president for not releasing his
ministerial list, he said: “There is pitfall in rushing,
quick fix, depending upon the depth of the rot. And that
rush can cascade into mistakes of unimaginable
magnitude. There is equally glory and recovery in
slowness, when you have a slow fix of a bad
foundation.
“So to me, I would rather take the one that will last the
country and endure for a longer period of time than the
rush hour shopping.”
He also disagreed with the Peoples Democratic Party’s
claim that President Buhari was dictatorial.
The APC chieftain said, “I disagree with that. He was
elected on a platform of democracy, he has adhered to
rule of law so far. What is dictatorship about what he
has done? He has helped to stimulate the economy in
the various states and that is where the people are. So
what is dictatorship?
“And the institutional paralysis had occurred in the
country. It is very important for a steady man like the
President to really help the nation recover from the
paralysis and that is what he is doing. So I don’t see
what is dictatorial about that.”
“If they don’t have anything to say, they rather be quiet.
They created what is wrong here today and we can’t
sweep that under the carpet. There must be rule of
law,” he added
