Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says women of the party should tell Nigerians calling for a change of government in the forthcoming 2023 elections to “shut up.”
Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos state made the comment on Monday, October 10 while speaking at the launch of the women’s team of the ruling party’s presidential campaign.
He said Nigerians seeking a change of government have forgotten the situation of the country before President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office, adding that he will put an end to banditry if elected president in 2023.
He said in a video now trending on social media: “If they say they want a change of government, just tell them, we will like to be polite, but shut up your mouth.
“To you, the people and particularly the women gathered here today, let me say one thing, hope is here, promise is here, prosperity is here, security is here, banditry has ended and hopelessness is not part of our dictionary.
