EKO HOT BLOG reports that The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, on Thursday accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of punishing him during his time as the Lagos State Governor.
He added that it was not a personal punishment but an action taken against Lagos State because he was in the opposition party.
Tinubu spoke with reference to the Enron power project and accused the Obasanjo administration of frustrating his efforts of solving the challenges of electricity supply when he was the Lagos State Governor.
According to him, the Obasanjo administration went ahead to divert and embezzle the huge sum of money meant to address the challenges of the electricity crisis in the country.
This online media platform gathered that he spoke during the APC presidential campaign rally in Benin, Edo State.
He said: “One of the hardest and the greatest problems, I, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, brought the Enron project to this country to help the over-centralisation and the diversion of our money; what did they do to it?
“They punished me as Lagos State governor, not personal punish (sic) but the entire Lagos State was punished.”
Speaking on the recent endorsement of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by Obasanjo in his new year message, Tinubu described the endorsement as “poison.”
He added that the former president was on a vendetta mission and seeking someone he could manipulate.
He also said there is no truth in the claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, that he made money from the car business during his time as a custom officer.
