How I Was Laughed At -APC Leader, Bola Tinubu Discloses

According to NAIJ.com report, the All Progressives Congress national leader Bola Tinubu, disclosed how he had had been mocked two years ago after vowing to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party.

According to Vanguard, the official recalled the past as he spoke at the African Young Entrepreneurs Empowerment Nigeria over the weekend.

Addressing youths, Tinubu expressed confidence that one should always follow one’s ideas “even if no one believes in you”.

The official, who was  represented by Lagos state Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, was quoted as saying:

“If I didn’t believe in the bold initiative, I wouldn’t have lent myself to the unprecedented merger of the political parties that became the APC. We wouldn’t have challenged the incumbent party controlling the central government, People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“There is no incumbent that has ever lost an election in this country. At the beginning of that journey, we were laughed at, we weren’t given a chance. We were told that we have embarked on an exercise in futility. Yet we believed in the justness of our call. The criticism didn’t deter us but encourage us.

“That exercise has become a history-making exercise. The party that was described as dead on arrival has, however, given birth to a new government, spirit and better democracy.”

In the course of the selection of the Lagos state House of Assembly leadership, the PDP told Tinubu to call his party to order. Specifically, “to call the lobbyists to order, in order to ensure that the process is free and fair”. The PDP stressed the importance of voting based on achievements, for the sake of good governance in the country.
