Spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council Senator Dino Melaye has said that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,presidential candidate of the ruling party APC, is not fit nor prepared for presidency.
This comes after Tinubu failed to comprehend the questions on climate change directed to him and turned the question into “how do you prevent a church rat from eating poisoned holy communion”? in Kaduna on Monday.
Melaye, expressing disappointment towards the situation, in a press statement said: “The APC presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, plunged into new depths of desecration when by an unguarded and unrelated flow of thought he despised the body of Christ by profaning the sacrament of communion and besmirched the church”.
“In the same breath he trivialised the existential threat that climate change poses to humanity.
Furthermore, he fell out of tune with world leaders in ways that betrayed a lack of understanding of what the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr called the “Fierce Urgency of Now”.
Having overlooked Christians in his choice of a running mate, he further rubbed insult on injury by calling in the Holy Communion into an unrelated conversation.
It would have been honourable for Tinubu to simply admit that he didn’t know what climate change is. Again, that exposed his limited understanding and poor preparation for governance. Any leader of any great nation who does not understand the basics of climate change, especially with the ongoing flooding in Nigeria and the economic conflict arising from farmers and herders, has no business aspiring to lead our dear country at this moment.
“Besides, Nigerians who have been in doubt about the presence of mind and the physiological capacity of Tinubu to preside over the affairs of Nigeria should now be convinced that he is not fit. For a moment, his thought processes tripped and he launched into another issue entirely. Nigerians could imagine if what happened in Kaduna had happened on the world stage”.
“As I said earlier, Nigerians can not afford to gamble with the next election”.
