The Presidential candidate of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, says his latest verbal slip, dished out during the Kaduna Investment Summit, should not be milked by mischief makers for political purposes.
Extolling the works of Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Tinubu said the governor has a knack for “turning a rotten situation into a bad one.”
In a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, the Director of Media & Publicity, Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, the politician said; “Earlier today at the Kaduna State Investment Summit, All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while commending Governor Nasir El-Rufai for his transformational leadership in the state had a slip of tongue that is common to every human being and even great leaders.
“The APC leader inadvertently said Governor El-Rufai “turned a rotten situation” he met on ground in Kaduna into “a bad one” whereas he meant to say “to a great one.”
“It was a mere slip, that is not unusual in life, even among leaders of nations.

“We recognise we are in political season where everything is latched on for deliberate distortion and twisted mischief.
“While mischief makers went so low, we noted that the audience at KadInvest 7.0 followed Asiwaju Tinubu with rapt attention and knew he only had a slip.
“We can only tell mischief makers to look for better and productive things to do with their time.”
Tinubu has had a knack for goofs and gaffes since he declared his intention to contest for the highest office in the land in January.
