National Leader, All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
says the party is not about himself, General Buhari or any leader of
the APC, but about the nation and the need and commitment to rescue
Nigeria from inept leadership.
Former Governor Tinubu, in response to a question about the
significance of the five former PDP governors joining the APC and the
implications for Nigeria, said, “The APC is not about Tinubu, Buhari
or any of its leaders. It is about the nation and how we can come
together and work together to rescue Nigeria from inept leadership.
The implication is change. We want to change the way things are done
by working together and investing our ideas. We must change the way we
do things. Imagine from the 60’s till date. The cutlass of the 60s
cannot be used for farming now. We need leaders that can think outside
the box.”
The AP leader spoke at the 2012/2013 Call to Bar ceremony of the
Nigeria Law School which held in Abuja on Friday at the International
Conference Center.
“Nigeria needs a democratic revolution that will unleash
infrastructural development and massive industrialization. Nigeria is
a blessed nation with talented youth, whose potentials must be
harnessed for the development of our country. The lamentations must
stop. After so many years of lamentation, with action we must lead the
new resolve to rally for the much needed change our country badly
needs,” Tinubu said.
Tinubu condemned the posture of the government to the continued strike
by ASUU and said we should be more concerned about losing more brains
to the outside world.
“We are not in a military era. The language used shows a government
out of tune with the general feelings of Nigerians. Nigeria cannot
continue to afford to lose her best brains to the diaspora,” he
concluded.
