The Chief Spokesman for Obi-Datti Campaign Council, Yunusa Tanko says the government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains illegitimate and nothing would change it.
Tanko stated this on Wednesday while commenting on Tinubu’s offer of board slots to the governors across party lines, describing it as a ‘gimmick’ to lure the opposition governments and chieftains into the ruling party.
Such a subtle move ‘’will not change the fact that Tinubu’s presidency is an illegitimate government.
“APC is doing everything in their crooked book to ensure they legitimize this government, which we have resisted vehemently. We will only do what is rightfully ours when the court makes its decision and pronouncement.
‘’But as far as we are concerned, every attempt we see them do is a means to cajole people to believe and legitimize their government. That is the truth about it,’’ he said.
Tanko wondered why the APC would want to appease the only Labour Party governor with board offers when the party has hundreds of supporters in Abia State that could be given board appointments.
He added, ‘’Sending letters to state governors is part of the process of legitimizing their governance, which we are resisting. At the moment, LP has only one governor. The belief is that the governor may likely dance to their tune.
‘’But the truth about it is that will the APC tell you they don’t have party people in Abia State that they can nominate? Why must they go through the governor to do so? What they are aiming to do is to indirectly co-opt him into their party. That’s the truth.”
Recall that the Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, disclosed at a meeting of the forum in Abuja on Tuesday night that President Tinubu asked the governors to nominate competent persons to serve in the boards and parastatals of Federal Government agencies which were dissolved last month.
