The director, strategic communications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, Chief Dele Momodu has rated the performance of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, at the Chatham House, United Kingdom, on Monday, December 5, as poor.
Momodu in an article sent to Legit.ng on Tuesday, December 6 chided Tinubu over what he described as 'his less than impressive engagement with his audience at the Chatham House.'

In a piece on Tuesday, December 6, Momodu slammed the handlers of the former Lagos state governor for causing the nation a huge embarrassment on a global stage.
He said,
“Truth is, the problem of Nigeria is often aggravated by the voluptuous ambitions of some acolytes who wish to remain eternally relevant in the corridors of power at the expense of the long-suffering nation,” he said, adding that “all those around Tinubu yesterday (Monday) knew the bitter truth but chose to fool Nigerians.”
Buhari in the mix
The PDP campaign spokesman recalled that seven years ago, the incumbent commander-in-chief did a good job when he appeared at the same venue to engage with the global audience.
His words:
“I was with the President Muhammadu Buhari, the day he visited Chatham House seven years ago. He was solid and charismatic. He needed no one to prompt him. He answered questions eloquently and intelligently to the best of his abilities.
“That is what Tinubu was expected to accomplish yesterday (Monday). What he did instead was like inviting helpers to sit the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examination. It is horrifying to watch some respected intellectuals like El-Rufai and Fayemi as they struggled to window dress Tinubu on a much hallowed global stage.”

Right from his childhood, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been a person of elegance, cut out for great things.
Tinubu is very aware of what he is capable of and the extent of influence he wields in southwest, nay, Nigerian politics.

Amid Chris Ngige's delay in openly declaring his support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, some old facts about the minister of labour and employment have been dug up.
On his Facebook page on Tuesday, October 18, Joe Igbokwe, one of Tinubu's allies, went back memory lane to 2013 when Ngige was preparing for the Anambra governorship election.
Igbokwe stated that at the time, politicians like the All Progressives Congress (APC)'s presidential candidate and other party bigwigs rallied around Ngige and gave him the needed support.
