What Is Your Monthly Income As Lagos Godfather – Emu Slams Tinubu, Others

The chief Economic Adviser to the Delta State Government, Kingsley Emu has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, Delta State governorship candidate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and former national chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, over their unbecoming comments on his principal, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, at the party’s campaign-off in Warri, last Saturday.

In a statement, Emu stated that Tinubu’s claims that Lagos is an example of how well he did as a governor is laughable.

He maintained that humongous amount of money available to Lagos annually would transform the whole of Nigeria if well managed and asked the APC flag bearer to tell the  world how much money is allocated to him monthly as a godfather.

He said, “Tinubu, who has become a slurring human contraption castigated Governor Okowa and abused Warri. He pointed at Lagos as a place that has benefitted from development.

“Tinubu’s idea of Lagos is about a few places that the government of Nigeria built up many years ago. Lagos is not only about Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and other such lush locations. Tinubu’s Lagos is the world’s dirtiest city.

“Tinubu’s Lagos is the capital of disorder and crime. Tinubu’s Lagos is home to squalor and over 17 million of the city’s 20 million people live in grinding poverty without portable water to drink. Tinubu’s Lagos is a frustrating city without roads befitting its size and revenue accruing to it. So, whom is Tinubu deceiving?”

Speaking on the governorship candidate, Emu wondered why Omo-Agege could not tell the rally what his agenda was about instead of launching a smear campaign against Okowa.

He opined that Omo-Agege was not in a position to call his principal a betrayer, alleging that the accuser had betrayed the whole of southern Nigeria by working and voting for the candidacy of Ahmad Lawan, the Senate President at APC’s Presidential Convention.

“Omo-Agege, who betrayed his greatest political benefactor, Great Ogboru, Omo-Agege who betrayed his old benefactor, James Ibori, and who betrayed Urhobo people in 2007 when they voted for Ogboru?

“Oshiomhole, faded and down, saw the Warri rally as an opportunity to talk, but he did so without thinking as usual. He compared Rivers State with Delta State pointing at infrastructure. Oshiomhole in his thoughtless ignorance did not know that Delta State is a multi-ethnic State with the highest number of urban centers in Nigeria,” he added.
