“You work, they feast. You toil, they grow fat” || @AsiwajuTinubu urges Nigerians to begin to embrace revolution

by Kolapo Olapoju

National leader of the All Progressives Congres and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says Nigerians need to undergo a ‘common sense revolution’.

The APC leader said that Nigeria needs to be resuced from the rule of the People’s Democratic Party, saying that the longer they rule, the less Nigerians will benefit from the government.

Tinubu said this on Monday, 29 September, through a statement titled ‘A Return to Decency’, where he stated that Nigerians need deliverance from the 16-year PDP rule.

He said, “The longer they rule, the less benefit the people derive. Nigeria now needs a ‘common sense revolution,’ a revolution that calls forth a return to decency, probity, transparency of process and fairness in outcome.”

“This is done not by subterfuge, divide and rule and turning Nigeria in a field of discord or a street of broken institutions. It is accomplished by honouring the principles of democratic good governance and economic justice. It is done by persuading the people they are better off as one instead of better off tearing at one another’s throats.”

“Nigerians should be prepared for change. We must rescue Nigeria from those set to cause it irreparable harm. The change I talk about is the only route to our deliverance from 16 years of the PDP locusts. Nigeria is ours to keep and its democracy is ours to save,” he added.

Tinubu also accused the Federal government of using religion to divide the nation, in its quest to remain in power perpetually. He said Nigeria is beseiged with violence and insecurity as its celebrates its Independence day.

He said, “We commemorate this Independence Day because the nation has survived despite its many challenges. We dare not celebrate because the nation has not flourished as it should. Fifty four years our national trek began with hope and promise, peace and unity.”

“Today, the nation staggers beneath the weight of trouble multiplied by hardship. Peace and unity seem to have yielded the moment to violence and discord. We exist as a political unit on a map but we do not prosper as brothers and sisters in one nation, under one flag and pursuant to one accord.”

“Never has an elected government in Nigeria employed religion as a tool to divide the people, setting Nigerian brother against brother in a manner that allows this administration to function at the basest level of governance while seeking to establish a political domination that seeks no greater purpose than its self-perpetuation.”

His statement also chastised the ruling party for lacking a vision for Nigeria, adding that all they do is loot the coffers of the country, at will.

“They do not have a national blueprint or vision. They do have a blueprint and vision for excessive self-enrichment. Their equation is simple: You work, they feast. You toil, they grow fat. You seek a decent wage; they pilfer the collective treasury to enjoy a king’s ransom.”

  1. Infact you just said the minds of most Nigerians! If you ask most of our youths ‘why working for PDP’? 90% of them will tell you that because of the money they offer, they imposed poverty on our youths so as to answer their call when the needs to rig arise, knowing fully that they will lost in a free and fair election.

  2. Hypocrisy may be able to deceive men but it certainly cannot deceive God. The very fact that you Tinubu keep shooting your mouth off against others in the face of your glaring finacial misdemeanours is a resounding testament of the core substance of your inner person, a putrid hypocrite!

  3. Just asking how come he has got 2 private jets… must have been hard work milking the people of Lagos state… This rule also applies to him… A revolution is imminent…
