And since that interview has resurfaced as a result of his presidential ambition declaration, people have began to raise eyebrow and asking damaging questions .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo many people have been calling and mocking us (the party), saying that if Tinubu does not believe in One Nigeria, how come he has now believe in one Nigeria to the extent that he wants to contest for the Presidency of a Nation he did not believe in?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis has not only been agitating the people\u2019s mind, but the members of the APC as well, and it is not good for the wellbeing of the party as the Nation counts down to the 2023 general election. As national leader of the party, he has to speak to Nigerians on that issue, and that will make him a true nationalist and democrat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, the most honourable thing for Tinubu to do is come out and appologise to Nigerians on that remarks which he made before this democratic dispensation which began in 1999. And he should as well explain the rationale behind the interview to Nigerians and point out if he was misquoted or not. Whatever his explanation would be, at least, it will calm down people\u2019s nerves and save the party from being projected in a bad light.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch apology will not only project him as a true leader of the party or as presidential aspirant but it will prove that he his a man of honour and dignity and someone who will take responsibility for his words, deeds and actions,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some leaders and members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the North Central zone have asked Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, APC national leader and presidential aspirant in the 2023 election,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-91126","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
