TOM IKIMI WAS A MOLE PLANTED BY THE PDP - TINUBU SPEAKS

Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday responded to the allegations levelled against him by a former leader of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Tom Ikimi; describing Ikimi as a liar.

Tinubu said in a statement he personally signed that Ikimi, who recently left the party, was a mole for the Peoples Democratic Party.

The former governor said the APC was better off without Ikimi, who is a former chairman of the defunct National Republican Convention.

Ikimi had in a statement last week accused Tinubu of being a dictator in the APC. He further alleged that on the eve of the party's national convention in June, Tinubu had a meeting with the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, over an oil deal.

Ikimi, former aspirant become the chairman of the APC, also accused Tinubu of conniving with the PDP leadership to double-cross a former Presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, in 2011 by urging party leaders to work for President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tinubu, however said, "I ordinarily would not have responded to Ikimi's lengthy chronicle of falsehoods, cheap blackmail and abuse. My only reason for this response is that I know Ikimi's style. He subscribes to the view that no matter how unbelievable a lie may sound, if you brazenly assert it and repeat it often enough, you may persuade many that it is, in fact, true. I have seen Ikimi perpetrate this deviousness in his years in public life.

Well..do Nigerians really care...I wish they did. this days, It seems like absolutely nobody trusts this policians anymore!

"It won't hurt you," he said with a sarcastic edge echoing in his voice. He left the house after telling the interpreter to guide the new corners and tell them what to do. The interpreter told them his name was Ibrahim from Garin-Alewa. He had been educated in the school and was now able to read, write and speak the Whiteman's language. "Now, you must open your heart to accept the education the Whiteman teaches. It is quite different from our Arabic schools. Here you must do everything the white man does," Ibrahim said. Just then a bell rang. Ibrahim looked at his wristwatch. It was seven p.m. "It's time for supper. We will all go to the dining room to have food," Ibrahim said. Garba realized he had been famished. He followed Ibrahim with the other boys to the dining room. There were many boys there. Garba recognized some of the boys from Dogongari but he did not go to meet them. He was wondering if this was what the Whiteman's education was all about. "Garba, son of Dandogo, your father finally let one of his sons to come here," one boy named Sule said behind him. Garba turned and saw Sule. He and Sule used to be friends before Sule was taken away to the school and when he had returned to the village, he had become somewhat pompous, not associating with the village boys whom he now called 'villagers'. "Hello Sule," Garba said. He had long accepted that his friendship with Sule had long packed following Sule's change of attitude. "How are you? I never thought you'll ever come here. I am very happy for you because this is the place where your mind gets open," Sule said. Garba did not understand, however, he smiled lazily at Sule. Sule sat beside him on the same table. "There's 'Sawa, the son of Maitabba, and there's Abu son of Iliya. I think you also remember Tanko, son of Danlcura," Sule said, pointing at boys from Dogongari. Garba knew them all. He nodded. "And there's Yakubu. He's quite close to the Whiteman Mr. Jacobs. The white man says Yakubu is his name sake, that Yakubu is the same name with Jacob," Sule said. "He lives in the master's quarters with nim." When the meal was served, it was rice and fried fish. The aroma was too much that Garba almost began to eat had Sule not stopped him. "You must wait for the prayers before you eat. And you don't eat with your fingers. This is not your bush village. Use the cutleries," he said. Garba looked at the cutleries. He had never used cutleries to eat before. He only used wooden spoon to drink fura da nunu and his hands for every other food he ate. "Bless this food, gracious Lord, for Christ's sake," Mr. Jacobs said. "Amen,"' children chorused.
