I will not abandon a Party that I “laboured with others to build” – Bola Tinubu

Former Lagos State governor and APC Chieftain, Bola Tinubu, has said that he will not abandon the party, that he “labored with others to build” for another.

He made this known in a series of tweets on Monday. The former governor said:

In our Journey to national betterment, plans and policies will be made, then amended. Mistakes will occur and then corrected. Achievements will be had & replicated. Through it all, I, Asiwaju will remain true to the progressive ideals that fueled the creation of APC.

I have devoted my political life to achieve what has been achieved. My heart is too much of the people and my mind too fixed on establishing a positive historic legacy… rather than engage in destructive pettiness.

This government, APC, is for the betterment of the people & the national purpose is bigger and more important than any individual’s desires.

This is a party I labored with others to build. We would not abandon it for another. Millions of Nigerians who voted are watching and praying.

The APC have been having internal crises for the past few months following the emergence of governor-elect of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu, as the party’s flagbearer for the recently conducted governorship elections in the state.

Tinubu had called for the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, saying that he fraudulently spearheaded Akeredolu’s emergence as the party’s flagbearer.
