Tinubu over the weekend spoke to
journalists in Lagos where he said,
the former ruling party, PDP is the
major reason Nigerians are
suffering from fuel shortage. The
APC leader said if PDP had done
the right thing in the last 16years
that it ruled Nigeria, it will not be
where it is today. His words;

“We want to stay focused and
redirect Nigeria. We want to
reverse the decay of 16 years. We
are hearing comments from the
PDP left and right. We are saying
we want to clear the mess they
created. For 16 good years, the PDP
destroyed the country. We should
not be lamenting over petrol
queues today if they had seen what
was necessary and done what was
necessary for this country.

“We can’t be emotional and live in
self-denial. They should have done
the Awolowo Road and the Lagos/
Ibadan Expressway. If they put
priority on our railroad, if they put
priority on electricity generation
and distribution, we will not be in
this mess today.”

He also spoke about Nigerians
allegedly being dissatisfied with the
present administration.

He said, “Nigerians are not
impatient with the APC
government; they just want to see
the direction of the economic policy
and want to be certain of the
future. They want to be assured
that we will not continue the
leaderless, directionless and
hopelessness of the past 16 years.

“The fact is that Nigerians do not
want the importation of toothpicks
to continue, we can make
toothpicks out of our bamboo trees.

Nigeria does not want to import
rice or plastic. Nigeria does not
want to continue in the direction of
the past 16 years. What did they
leave behind in our account? Why
should certain things that we bring
into this country become our
priority? Why do we have to import
those things that we can produce?

The country needs surgical
operation in the hands of a very
honest Nigeria.”
