Deji Adeyanju, a former Youth Leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday alleged that Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is positioning his son, Seyi Tinubu, to become Governor of Lagos State.
Newsbreak reports that it is even claimed Seyi was appointed as a financial consultant for all state and local government parastatals as a way to ease him into power.
Adeyanju also accused Tinubu of placing his relatives in key positions in Lagos State and beyond.
This was contained in a social media post by the government critic.
“For over two decades, Bola Tinubu has moved around Lagos State political scene like a colossus. He determines who gets what, when and how. First, he changed his deputy governors like he changed his briefs. Furthermore, he moved to deny former governor Babatunde Fashola a second term in office. But for the latter’s outstanding performance, Tinubu would have succeeded in denying him a second term in office,” Adeyanju’s statement reads in part.
“Former governor Akinwunmi Ambode was not so lucky as Tinubu ensured that he was denied a second term in office because he allegedly refused to accede to the Godfather’s numerous demands.
“We must not forget the fact that Tinubu’s wife is a three time senator in Lagos state, while his son is being prepared to become the Governor of the state after he was put in-charge of major revenue generation platforms in the state. What manner of democratic principles can be ascribed to Tinubu in view of the foregoing? None!!!
“Tinubu, therefore, lacks the moral credentials to demand for a level playing field at the upcoming APC presidential primaries, when he has failed and or refused to provide a level playing field in Lagos.”
