The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some of the party to respond to questions posed to him.
According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.

Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.

At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.

Tinubu also delegated a former Commissioner for Finance in Lagos State, Wale Edun, to respond to a question on how he (Tinubu) would boost the economy if elected.

Others, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; former Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi; APC National Women’s Leader, Dr Betta Edu; also answered questions.

Tinubu said: “Let me demonstrate here one of those philosophies and doctrines that I believe firmly in, it is team-ship, unbreakable team. To demonstrate that, I’ll assign it to my team.”

On education, Tinubu promised to provide student loans and reform the Almajiri educational system practiced in northern Nigeria.

El-Rufai who answered questions on security, stated that banditry, terrorism, separatism, and oil theft require a new approach including increasing the number of security operatives.

“The numbers must change and the Bola Tinubu istration already has a blueprint which is embedded in our action plan to address this. We will scale up the numbers of the armed forces. We’ll ramp up not only the numbers but the training and the equipment,” the Kaduna governor said.

Alake, on his part, answered the question on how Tinubu plans to lift Nigerians out of poverty if elected and also curb oil theft in six months. “The key to his policy for increasing economic growth is to enable the private sector to make the investment that will increase productivity, grow the economy, create jobs, and reduce poverty,” he said.

Also, Gbajabiamila responded to the question on the strategies of Tinubu on defence, the APC national women’s leader answered the question on healthcare delivery, and how to convert brain drain into gain gain for the country amongst others.

To defend or follow tinubu, you must delete and destroy your God given ability to reason.

You must turn a blind eye to stark realities

You must kill your conscience .

You must hang your brain and throat on the tree of tribalism.

Emilokan is a disaster that must not be allowed.

I say this again, if you see yourself defending or pushing for tinubu at this stage, you must see a psychiatric specialist.

Baba no need to explain yourself.
Nigeria need your team-ship tactic to propel to greatness
Politics free of tribalism or segregation is what we want and only you can deliver.
Others will catchup eventually.
Nigeria will be great.

Tinubu leadership style as demonstrated in Chatham house has endeared him to me the more.

He shows high sense of capacity & dexterity to delegate competent hands & a top notch team player.

I've always believed that the President must not be the know-it- all candidate but the one who has the capacity & managerial experience to spot competent hands, delegate, and coordinate to ensure the job is done.

That is his own style of governance and it has been working for him. Some unfortunate Nigerians will definitely have every issue with that.

Lol. You can spin this any way you want. Everybody knows the business of governance isn’t for the president alone but for the entire team he assembles. So nobody cares if you believe in the team work. No one can govern this country by himself/herself.

Asg people to answer questions directed to you about your policies or plans isn’t the “team-ship” flex you think it is. This isn’t the time to show you believe in team work, this is the time to convey your plans and ideas to Nigeria.

Delegating questions to people tells us more about cluelessness or unpreparedness. At this point, all we want to know is a summary of your plans. If a presidential candidate can not briefly summarize what his team would do in security, economy or education, then he has no business contesting.

Yes, the other guys may have the detailed plan and strategy but as the leader, you should know what they plan to do and be able to convey this to the people you are asking for their votes.

Which "team-ship" just say you are desperately trying in futility to hide your babluba cognitive and chronic sicknesses. Just imagine the see finish?

Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his hoardes of urchins and miscreants are the worst set of humanity you can ever see on earth in a 21st century civilization.

Imagine these fools blantantly telling Nigerians that "Tinubu’s Public Blunders Are Minor Issues, Don’t Amplify Them" – APC Campaign

Presidential candidates often go out of their way seeking privilege to be heard prior to elections in order to market themselves. With Tinubu, it is just an irony as his media handlers are using all manners of subtle means but in futility to hide his obvious cognitive, mental and physical defects.

Hence his endless warning serial gaffes. So it will be the fault of Nigerians if such a person is voted into the office of the President.

So what Tinubu is telling us is that if he becomes president, El rufai will be minister of security, Alake minister of stomach infrastructure, Gbagabialmela minister of defense and women leader minister of health.

I laugh.

If not for some naive. Yoruba youth, Obi name should have been banned in South West. Everywhere online, you will never find a single Igbo who is not for Obi. That's how to understand conspiracy. There criticism of Tinubu is a reflection of their habitual discrimination of every top Yoruba men. .

I how we all celebrated Chimamanda Adichie breakthrough with her novel. That same lady later used her platform to lampoon Adeleke, a Yoruba writer. Don't think I recalled the name correctly. We all celebrated the brilliance of Okonjo Iweala, Charles Soludo and every member of Obasanjo economic team. We aren't even mindful of the fact that Frank Nweke Junior was playing the role of Lai Mohammed. But they castigated Kami Adeosun and mock her exit from Buhari government . Every brilliant Yoruba personality in Buhari government, they painted as incompetent.

We still respect Chinua Achieve till date but they spare no word of commendation for Whole Soyinka. To them, he is a puppet of the nobel Laurette organization in Stockolm. They even forget the sacrifice he made for them during the Biafra war.

Generation Z, you are on the bed with the worng people. You the self adulation bandwagon but always quick to criticize your your. Your obsession with trend has made your lost your self awareness. Your are caught in do not let behind syndrome .

It’s a strategy of genuine leaders..

Nothing emotional at all. Tinubu has always been a team work kind of guy..
