PDP Accuses Tinubu Of Acting Against Fashola's Ministerial Appointment

 

Taofik Gani who is the Publicity  Secretary of the People's Democratic Party, in Lagos state has in a recent statement accused the national party leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of sabotaging the appointment of former Governor Babatunde Fashola as minister by President Muhammadu Buhari.

 

He urged Tinubu to be transparent with the people of Lagos state as the Punch reports.

 

It should be recalled that Tinubu had, in a statement last week, denied reports that he was the one sponsoring reports of Fashola’s excessive spending. He subsequently accused the PDP of sponsoring the reports of Fashola’s N78.3m website.

 

According to Taofik Gani, Tinubu has denied exposing Fashola's financial records as the latter threatened to reveal the secret acts of corruption perpetrated by Tinubu.

 

In his words:

 

“It is laughable that Tinubu can now blame the PDP for disseminating information which, no doubt, emanated from the office of the state governor and which was made public by the anti-Fashola elements within the APC.

“Indeed, bringing the PDP into this is to divert attention from the real issues of fraud in the state. Tinubu and the APC should rather face the accusations and not the accusers. We know well that Tinubu is behind the attacks. He lost cordiality with Fashola since the period of the APC governorship primary.

“Now he doesn’t want Fashola to have any federal appointment. The whole world knows this. He is now jittery and denying the attacks because of the rumoured plans by Fashola to release classified information of fraud during the administration of Tinubu. This is why Tinubu is now jittery and telling lies that we are behind the attacks.”
 

He ended by urging the anti-graft agencies to probe Tinubu and Fashola as their hands are not clean.
