On Tuesday, Governor Simon Lalong urged Nigerians to enable Bola Tinubu to become the country’s next President.
He stated that it is now the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APCturn )’s to “chop” (slang for eat).
The Plateau state governor made the comment during the party’s presidential campaign rally in Ilorin, Kwara’s capital.
APC Presidential Campaign DG, Lalong Allegedly Threatens To Pull Out Of Council
Lalong is the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Director General (PCC).
“If you do me good, I’ll do you good. If you do good on the other side, we’ll do good on this side. That is Emi Lokan. Is that not Emi Lokan?”, he asked party supporters.
“Asiwaju has done good. It is his turn, it is your turn, it is our turn. If you chop alone, you will die alone.
“He didn’t chop alone, so it is his turn to chop. And that is why Emi Lokan is very important”, the governor said.
Senator Kashim Shettima, the vice presidential candidate, appeared to be shaken by his remarks.
Former Borno governor drew Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s attention and murmured something to him.
Nigerians have expressed concern that Lalong’s strange speech shows the APC is aiming to keep the presidency for financial gain.
“At this point, the choice is yours. It will be a national disgrace if this set of people are handed over the affairs of this nation”, @SammyKing tweeted.
