Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dumebi Kachikwu, has described his counterpart in All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, as a great grandfather.
Gatekeepers News reports that Kachikwu also called the Presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, grandfather and father respectively.
The ADC Presidential candidate made the remark during a panel session for leading Presidential Candidates for the 2023 general elections at the Annual General Conference (AGC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), holding in Lagos.
Kachikwu stated that if the panel session on Democratic Transitions in 21st Century Nigeria went on for another five hours, the other candidates would not be able to proffer any solution to the issues plaguing the nation.
According to a statement made available by the media office of his presidential campaign organisation, Kachikwu said, “They cannot give what they don’t have.”
The statement read in part, “He bemoaned the fact that schools in Abuja had been shut down over security issues even though President Muhammadu Buhari lives in Abuja.
“He wondered what part of Nigeria could then be considered safe, since the seat of government in Nigeria appears beset by grave insecurity.”
The ADC candidate advised that the nation needed to focus on strategic exports to boost her dollar earnings and gave examples of how legal, engineering, architectural and other services could be sold over the internet to people all over the world.
He, therefore, called on Nigerians to emulate the NBA and boldly go in a different direction in next years general election just as the NBA did in electing the young Olumide Akpata two years ago and has now reaped the rewards of youthful innovation.
