Tinubu under fire over ‘soaked sliced bread’ statement in Enugu
Written by City Radio on January 12, 2023
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is being widely criticised by the majority of Nigerians from the South East region over his statement that they will languish in longer marginalisation unless they vote massively for him to become the president.
Tinubu said this in Enugu, on Wednesday, while he was there for the state presidential campaign rally at Michael Okpara Square.
He said they have to work hard to support his presidential bid, if not, they will only get “soaked sliced bread” as a region.
According to the APC National Leader, Igbos should “work hard, sweat for this party until they deliver victory for him.”
Tinubu was warmly received by two Igbo governors Dave Umahi and Hope Uzodinma of Ebonyi and Imo states respectively.
Other APC bigwigs in attendance were Senator Andy Ubah, Chief Gbazuagu Nweke Gbazuagu, and the APC governorship candidates of the party in southeast states among other party members from the states.
While he was speaking to APC members in Enugu and the region, Nigerians of Igbo extraction misconstrued the statement and criticised him for issuing a threat and insult.
