A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Akin Alabi has taken his support for the ruling party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, to another level.

The member of the House of Representatives argued that he would gladly let Tinubu control his life because he believes in his competence.

Alabi had tweeted a poster campaigning for Tinubu, which attracted comments from his followers on the microblogging platform.

A Twitter user, @idoreyin14, asked Alabi if he would allow the APC Presidential candidate to run his family affairs.

The user wrote, “With due respect, sir. Party aside. Can you let Tinubu run your family affairs? If you weren’t in APC, would you gladly vote Tinubu?”

Responding, Alabi said he would let Tinubu run his life and that of his family affairs.

He said: “I can let Tinubu run my life. I will even beg him to run it. Shows how much I believe in him. Even if I was a member of Labour Party, I would still support him.”

Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday approved a new lawsuit that sought to compel the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, to file a criminal charge against Tinubu.

The Court was served with the complaint, with the case number FHC/ABJ/CS/1058/2022, by the Incorporated Trustees of the Center for Reform and Public Advocacy, a Civil Society Organization (CSO).

The Applicant is specifically asking the court to grant “an order of mandamus, compelling the Respondents to comply with Sections 31 and 32 of the Police Act and Section 3 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2015 in respect of the alleged crime laid out in the complaint of the Applicant encapsulated in the letter of June 16, 2022, received by the Respondents on the same date and titled: Demand for Criminal Prosecution of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu under Sections 191, 192 and 463 of the Criminal Code Act, Law of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 Consequent upon the Findings of the Lagos State House of Assembly Ad-hoc Committee, 1999”.
