Special Assistant on Public Communications to Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Phrank Shaibu, has revealed the reason the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been evading debates, non-partisan town hall meetings and live interviews.
He said in a statement on Sunday December 18, that Tinubu is trying to avoid scrutiny from the public.
Shaibu said, “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion, says the Holy Bible.
“This perhaps explains why the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has refused to open himself up for scrutiny but continues to evade debates, non-partisan town hall meetings and live interviews.
“In 2007 a former head of the civil service of Lagos State, Abdulrafiu Babatunde Tinubu, one of the eldest members of the Tinubu family, published a book titled, ‘Onijumu Wura: The Tinubu Dynasty of Kakawa, Lagos (The Tree)’.
“The author claimed anyone whose name was not listed in the book was not an authentic member of the Tinubu family. Where is Tinubu from? Who are his parents? Who was Tinubu’s father? What was his name? What is Tinubu’s full name? Is it Bolatito, Omobolanle, Abolaji, Bolarinwa?
“The nation shall be most grateful if the APC can remove this tiny veil out of the many shades about their presidential candidate that they don’t want the Nigeria people to know about.”
