Engr. Musa Adeola in an interview with our heritage reporter on an online tv programme tagged just politics, anchored by Nifemi Gideon, discharge commendations on Bola Ahmed Tinubu and assures Nigerians that many wrongs in governance will be rewritten if Tinubu becomes the president of Nigeria in 2023
Below are the excerpt form the interview.
Chattam House presentation – how would you describe Bola Ahmed Tinubu delegations of duties to other people.
The chattam House presentation was fantastic, it is a way of signalling that one cannot do it alone as president, there is need to bring together best brains and delegate them for duties , that’s exactly what Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu displayed on that presentation day and this is the best way for us as a Nation.
We must commend people like this, who really know how to Source for better material and human resources needed to get the work done.
As claimed by the Presidential candidate of the PDP Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, FG developed Lagos not Tinubu, what are your take on this?
It’s only a claim and it all necessary in a political season we are presently, then, we must go back to the memory lane to note the fact that Lagos was one of the dirtiest state before 1999.
But when Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged as Governor there was obvious change, he came up with different Agencies for traffic control, environmental agency and through this, many people was engaged,turned away from thuggery to employed persons and it’s also pave way for better and cleaned Lagos free off hooliganism and thuggery.
He was the one who laid the groundwork for the better Lagos we are seeing at the moment, he is a good planner and excecutor, the best which Nigeria as a Nation needs at the moment.
How would you describe Bola Ahmed Tinubu in relation to his age,health status and particularly physical fitness to carry out and function effectively as a president
Age is not a factor here, and in most cases age does not really determine physical fitness of someone, look at the Lagos legislator who died at the plateau State APC rally, how do we classify that incident, do we say he is not fit? or too old? Capital NO.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is physically fit to govern Nigeria, look at his engagement in recent time, moving from one state to another, international engagement with diaspora and many groups outside Nigeria and we are saying he is not fit? Then how do we measure physical fitness?.
Ordinarily it quite unfortunate that we only play politics with many things including someone’s life, how would you be thinking that someone will die? For instance, many believe back then that Buhari Will die, look at it today many of those people are gone and Buhari is still alive, only God Almighty owns life, we cannot determine it, therefore Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is more than fit to govern Nigeria.
Democracy is a game of number, we can accept the fact that Northern part of the country have the highest number of register voters, how would you describe this relating to the chance of Bola Ahmed Tinubu wining the election especially when we have a northerner candidate too.
Firstly, we must note that it was the North that made him flag bearer of APC, they came and vote with unity in the party primary, they resolved within themselves that they are making him the president and they did, nothing to share in Zero, the likes of El-Rufai,Ganduje,Lalong and hosts of others cannot sabotage Tinubu for a zero option, because Atiku will retire all of them, and they are still young, they are all available for this project.
Another thing we should note is that, as of today, the Buhari factor is still a household name and a very big factor in the northern states and he is hundred percent in support of Tinubu.
Atiku contested against Buhari in 2019 while Tinubu was available both in 2015 and 2019 to put in all necessary mechanism for his victory, in 2015 I produced more than fifty thousand posters which was sent to every part of the country as my support, I still have some in my Achieve, I gave more than ten thousand copies to the current APC national vice President for South West, Dr kekemeke, he was marvelled.
Inflation here and there, would you accept this as an embroglo that can actually affect APC chances ahead of 2023?
You see, I have continued to mentioned that there is need for more responsibilities for the state, we cannot continue putting all blames to the doorstep of presidency.
Of recent, we heard about the billions given to governor’s form the oil producing States, How are this funds used, it’s only federal government that have agency on poverty alleviation, no any state in Nigeria have means of alleviating poverty.
More also, what are the functions of local government,in the past local government have tractor which people can hire to plough hectares of land and then we use to have food products in markets in excess, but this day we are best putting blames on the federal government, I said earlier, federal government cannot do it alone, we have to reduce the burdens and more responsibilities should go to states and local government so that they can function optimally.
There is need to redevelop the local government administration in Nigeria, in fact most of the local government chiarman resides out of Thier council areas, they mostly found in the state capital when they ought to stay and live within their areas to really detest the people needs.
The issue of security is another factor, because people can no longer go to Farm again as a result of insecurity, all this thing’s are playing negative roles on inflation we are facing today as a Nation, we must tackle issues holistically and stop putting all blames on the federal government.
Fuel queue and problem in recent time is indicating a red flag against your party chances as claimed by many Nigerians, how would you react to this
The truth of the matter is that we need to be sincere, the issue of fuel subsidy should be a thing of the past,take for instance Dangote is building a Refinery who is going to subsidise it? Let Nigerians all agree to forget subsidy.
If you remove subsidy put more money in health development, infrastructure, education we are good to go, during Dr Goodluck Jonathan era some vehicles was given to State at a subsidise rate, and then in Ondo State we used the vehicles for students shuttle, it’s brilliant idea , this are the types of things subsidy should be channeled on.
Many of the government owned service should be privatised and this will aid effective management and be more productive.
How would you convenience Nigerians that the APC led government of BAT will be quite different from that of PMB in the areas of job creation, economy recovery and development, security and etcetera?
Sincerely president Buhari has done well, I don’t have any regret voting Buhari bother in 2015 and 2019, is it from the area of tackling corruption or infrastructural development in the past almost eight years?
Look at the railways development, look at the second Niger Bridge, the N-power scheme and all other, the present administration performed well compare to the sixteenth years of zero developmental records under PDP.
Despite the shortage and the drastic fall in the price of oil, the COVID and all other negative imposition by climate change, the government was still able to tackle many infrastructural deficits.
Sincerely Buhari has done well, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is only coming to build on Buhari legacies only the some corrections will made in some certain areas of governance based of his experiences and disposition on governance and economic development.
I would advise Nigerians to believe in there renewed hope vision of Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and to give maximum support come 2023
Musa Adeola concluded.
