THE presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress – APC, Bola Tinubu has been accused of involving in a criminal activity as Nigerians continue to suffer hardship following the inavailability of the new nairanotes.
A spokespersons for the Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Kola Ologbondiyan, made the allegation among others in a statement on Friday. He alleged that Tinubu has been sabotaging the system, intercepting and diverting millions of new naira notes meant for distribution to Nigerians for his selfish purposes.
“It is indeed despicable that Tinubu, knowing that he has been exposed of being criminally responsible for the biting cash crunch on Nigerians, is seeking to divert public attention from his heinous crime by criticising Atiku Abubakar’s widely applauded patriotic call for the extension of currency swap deadline,” Ologbondiyan said in the statement.
“Our campaign challenges the APC presidential candidate to come clean on allegations that he has been using his various criminal special purpose vehicle companies as well as fraudulent officials in some APC-led states to intercept and mop up cash to the detriment of millions of Nigerians.”
The campaign organisation also stated that Tinubu was the real enemy of Nigerians and not the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, as Tinubu alleged.
Ologbondiyan further alleged that Tinubu was the mastermind of the new naira notes crunch who had made the people to suffer untold hardship ever known in the history of the nation.
The campaign organisation noted that “in the desperation to cover his tracks, Tinubu, in his elements, as the Nigerian ‘Artful Dodger’, has mounted a campaign of calumny against the Federal Government on the scarcity of the naira while allegedly secretly intercepting and diverting the notes for his selfish use.”
