Dumebi Kachikwu, presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has referred to Bola Tinubu, his APC counterpart as a great grandfather.
Kachikwu who spoke at the ongoing conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Lagos, also called Atiku Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate as a grandfather, while describing Peter Obi, Labour Party candidate as a father.
He further insisted that if the panel session on Democratic Transitions in 21st Century Nigeria went on for another five hours, the other candidates would not be able to proffer any solution to the issues plaguing the nation.
“They cannot give what they don’t have,” he declared, according to a statement by the media office of his presidential campaign organisation.
He bemoaned the fact that schools in Abuja had been shut down over security issues even though President Muhammadu Buhari lives in Abuja.
He wondered what part of Nigeria could then be considered safe, since the seat of government in Nigeria appears beset by grave insecurity.
He said the nation needed to focus on strategic exports to boost her dollar earnings and gave examples of how legal, engineering, architectural and other services could be sold over the internet to people all over the world. He called on Nigerians to emulate the NBA and boldly go in a different direction in next years general election just as the NBA did in electing the young Olumide Akpata two years ago and has now reaped the rewards of youthful innovation.
