The Iyaloja-General and daughter of APC National Leader, Bola Tinubu,
Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, has accused the Buhari led government of abandoning
Market men and women who voted him into office. Folasade said this
while speaking at a meeting between APC leaders and some market women in
Abuja today March 10th.
“I am here this afternoon to represent the market women and men of
Nigeria. There have been agitation. The people believe that the
government of the day is not carrying them along as it should be; that
they worked round the clock for the party during the campaign, but after
the inauguration most of us are not carried along.
We only hear in the news that the first lady is doing
a programme, this and that. And we just see it in the news, and they
wouldn’t allow me be; all the complaints come to my table morning and
night. And I say okay, enough is enough… We even heard that another FCT
woman leader is organising another market association named Association
of Organised Market People in Abuja, and most of these people are PDP
members; they were nowhere to be found when we were working for the
party day and night. So, now our people are not happy because they need
to benefit from where they believe they have the right to, and all we
need, all we are crying for, is for the government to give them a sense
of belonging and carry them along properly”she said
She said the fact that her father is a leader in APC doesn't stop her from saying the truth
"Because I am the daughter of the national leader of APC doesn’t mean
that I must not represent my people well. I have to represent my
people’s opinion. I am a leader, and as a leader my people are crying
foul, and I won’t fold my hands and keep quiet because my father is a
national leader, it is wrong. I am not mobilising against the party, no.
I am solidly behind the party, I have worked for the party before and I
will still work for the party tomorrow, but that does not stop me from
saying the truth.”
