The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has claimed that the ongoing fuel crisis and naira crisis was orchestrated to destabilize the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
The plotters, according to the speaker, intended to prevent Tinubu from running in this Saturday’s election three weeks before it.
He finds solace in the fact that God is at the centre of everything because he appears at every point, according to him.
Gbajabiamila made the claim on Thursday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere during his 2003 Constituency Outreach Program.
He said:
No money, no cash to eat, to go out in the last three, four weeks; that is nothing but rigging before of election.
It is done for a purpose and a purpose only: to make sure that the man all of Nigeria wants does not win this election.
But, you know, I am happy. I take solace in one thing: that God is a wonderful God, that in all their machinations, I see at every turn, God’s hands in this project.
The man who they attempted to rig the election against, even three weeks before the elections, but he’s still standing and standing strong, that people are singing in the North, East and West.
Songs are coming out and saying whether you lock up the money, whether you close the doors to the filling station, people are singing that they will go out and they will vote for Asiwaju.
That is the man that God’s hands are on his project.
The speaker referenced how Tinubu emerged as the party’s candidate at the APC primary, saying it was divine intervention.
He stated that;
A man who competed against over 20 other aspirants. A man who was not in the office, a civilian outside office who contested against 20 other aspirants, including the sitting Vice President, Senate President, Ministers, and government officials and he still came out on top; that is God’s hands in that project.
A man who after the primaries, all of a sudden, the only opposition party, the PDP (Peoples Democratic Party), broke into two and you have something called the G5; that is God’s hands in that project.
