I Was Misquoted, Tee Mac Makes U-turn After Saying Tinubu Not Qualified To Be Nigeria’s President

 

Former President of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Omatshola Iseli, aka Tee Mac, has said that he was misquoted that the All Progressive Congress Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is not qualified to be Nigeria’s president in 2023.

In a Facebook comment section, Tee Mac has argued that so much about the former Lagos State governor is shrouded in secrecy.

The flautist, who claimed Tinubu is an in-law of his, said the APC flag bearer is 86-year-old.

Reacting to the now viral post, the musician said he made the remarks during a private conversation.

He, however, said his grudge against Tinubu is that he sold President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians in 2015.

The statement read, “only grouse” with Tinubu stems from his involvement in selling President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians in 2015.

“My attention has been drawn to a post that has gone viral on social media regarding a private banter with a Facebook acquaintance on the eligibility of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the statement reads.

“Whilst it is regrettable that such a private conversation went viral from a Facebook account, let me state that the conversation was taken out of context.”

“In the first instance, I have high regards for the person of the APC presidential candidate; a two (2)-term governor of Lagos state, and a revered leader of the APC. I have lived in Lagos since I relocated from Switzerland, and I can attest to his transformational impact in the state.”

“More significantly is his ability to identify and engage exceptional and committed technocrats in governance with tangible results over time, and maintaining relationships with them, and others across board. This, I believe will be replicated if he is given the opportunity at the federal level.”

“His all-inclusive style of governance has seen people from other states, ethnicities, and faith take up appointments in Lagos, serving meritoriously too! Consequently, his competence is not in doubt. I only expressed my fear for the rigours of the office.”

“My only grouse, which I still stand by is that it was Tinubu who sold Buhari to the nation in 2015, which candidate, contrary to all expectations, underperformed.”
