Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Affairs, Senator Babafemi Ojudu on Tuesday said that his refusal to support former Governor of Lagos Bola Tinubu is not an act of betrayal.
He said this is rather a case of principle which tells about his personal convictions.
In a message he posted on his social media page on Tuesday, Ojudu, believed to be one of Tinubu’s loyalists, said he is following his mind.
Ojudu works directly in the office of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
If APC fields Tinubu as its presidential candidate, APC is finished. If APC does not field Tinubu as its presidential candidate, APC is finished. As a result of that reality, APC is trying, but it has not found a way to extricate itself from that quagmire.
not even know him. If they do, they won’t resort to emotional and physical blackmail. When Tinubu decided to go against Afenifere and the Yoruba elders in 2003 by not supporting President Olusegun Obasanjo, he wasn’t betraying the Yoruba nation or a traitor to Afenifere. He made a choice and history has been his judge. Let history be my own judge too. When he supported Chief Olu Falae against Chief Bola Ige , our respected leader, who fought for him to emerge candidate of Alliance for Democracy in Lagos, no one shouted betrayal.
For the irritants who have been sending threat messages to me and members of my family or calling to abuse me for not supporting Tinubu, do know that is not democracy. It is something else. I spent my youth years fighting autocracy and intolerance of the military and I am still willing and ready, even now, to stand up for what I believe , even if it will cost me my life. Enough said.
