Aformer Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tom Ikimi, has told National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, that his ‘bullion vans’ cannot buy the governorship election of Edo State which comes up on Saturday.
He said this while reacting to a video in which Tinubu accused Obaseki of not being a democrat and asked the people of the state to reject him at the polls.
“My dear people of Edo State, the election of Saturday is between light and darkness. Obaseki represents light. Tinubu and others in APC represent darkness. In Edo, we have resolved to vote for light and on Saturday, Governor Obaseki will be reelected, by God’s Grace.
“I watched Tinubu early today talking about Edo election and democracy. You carry money in bullion vans to destroy democracy and you are talking about democracy for the people. Which democracy?
” Ambode (former Lagos State governor) performed creditably well in Lagos but because he was not ready to put everything in your pocket, you vowed to remove him. Everybody begged you, even President Buhari begged you to allow Ambode go for another term. You refused and you are now talking about democracy. Which democracy? Democracy of your pocket?
“Edo is not Lagos. How much money did you have in 1998 and 1999? Nigerians want to know. Today, you move billions of naira all over the place. How did you make this money? On this Edo election, Tinubu, you have failed. Obaseki will defeat your candidate on Saturday and there is nothing your money can do about it. “
