"National Conference is a tactic to divert attention from second term ambition" - Tinubu

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, Wednesday decried the moves by President Goodluck Jonathan to the proposed national conference, describing them as a tactic to divert attention from his second term ambition.

Tinubu, who was in Osogbo to mediate in the face-off between the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Osun State Government on the crisis over the re-classification of schools, while answering reporters’ questions, said he was opposed to the conference because there was no law to back it up.

“As a leader and parent, one must work like father for all in the country and must be ready to salvage and rescue the nation from the calamity being created by President Goodluck Jonathan,” he added.

On the forthcoming governorship election in Osun and Ekiti States, he said his party was ready and was sure of victory.

“As far as this party is concerned, we are battle ready to win Ekiti and Osun States in the forthcoming governorship election that is less than six months,” he added.
