President Bola Tinubu on Thursday accused former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) of demonstrating ignorance about governance and the economy.
The President made the accusation when he received Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Governor Adeleke the winner of the August 15 governorship election.
The Governor, who contested on the platform of the Accord Party, defeated the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the President’s party.
Speaking while receiving Adeleke in his office, Tinubu said: “Let’s look at the trajectory of history. I saw one of my opponents now say he will go back to subsidy. I read it. That is a demonstration of serious ignorance about governance and the economy. Before I came here, 27 states were unable to pay salaries, not to even talk of pensioners. In your state, I know a man that I raised who is nicknamed ‘half salary.’
