The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Friday dismissed what it termed the “latest infantile rant” from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, against President Bola Tinubu.
It was reacting to the ADC’s remark that Tinubu has abandoned governance for politics amid the renewed insecurity in Nigeria.
The ADC, while condemning the distribution of vehicles for Tinubu’s re-election campaign, had charged the President to step aside if he can no longer govern Nigeria.
Responding, the spokesman of the Lagos State APC, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, said a party that survives on political leftovers is attempting to lecture a sitting President on how to run a country.
In a statement he issued, Oladejo said the party that cannot manage a ward wants to manage the nation.
He said: “For clarity, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is governing Nigeria, not campaigning. But we understand why the ADC is confused: leadership is a language they neither understand nor speak.
“It is nothing short of political comedy for a party that cannot win a councillorship election in its own backyard to accuse the President of early campaigns.
“When a party has no structure, no ideas, no national footprint, and no future, the only option left is to bark at every moving shadow in the hope of getting noticed.”
He added that the ADC should not mistake its own obscurity for a national emergency.
