2019 elections: PDP plotting to operate ‘container economy’ – Tinubu
The National
Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said that the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, was plotting to operate “container economy” if voted
into power in 2019.
Tinubu made
the allegation while reacting to the Vice Presidential debate.
Speaking at
the Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi’s Roundtable entitled: ‘The Imperatives
of Building Institutions for Lasting Legacies,’ held at Ibadan, yesterday,
Tinubu said the outcome of the debate has shown that the ‘developmental
economy’ of APC cannot be compared with the ‘container economy’ of PDP.
The former
Governor of Lagos State argued that the developmental economy would take
Nigeria to a secured next level of economic prosperity.
He, however,
stated that the container economy would return the country to perpetual slavery
and poverty.
The former
governor also assured that he would support the APC governorship candidate for
the 2019 poll in the state, Chief Adebayo Adelabu.
He said: “I
saw the debate yesterday, to crown my remarks. You could see the difference
between a developmental economy and a container economy.
“Is Oyo
State going APC? Oyo State is APC. It is progressive politics. I said in one
place before, our Moses has crossed the Red Sea, no going back to Egypt.
Success all the way.”
He stated
that he did not feel bad if opposition parties in the State associated him with
the process that threw Adelabu up as governorship candidate.
“If we do
indirect primary again, I will still vote for your (Governor Ajimobi) choice of
successor, because reforms, re-engineering, reinvigoration of the institutions
can only continue beyond us. If the foundation is bad, the house will crumble,”
he said.
