National leader of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) Bola Ahmed
Tinubu has reacted to the launch of the Coalition for Nigeria championed
by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Tinubu stated that it was too early to respond to movement as every Nigerian is entitled to freedom of speech and association.
The former governor of Lagos state disclosed this in a brief
interview with journalists at the Imo State Government House on
Thursday.
He said, “The appropriate time is not now for response on the
Coalition Movement but we are in a democracy, we are in a country that
is a signatory to the Charter of the United Nation which guarantees free
movement, free association and free speech.”
On the reason for his visit to Imo, Tinubu added ‘”the governor is a
very good friend and the government that is here is our government, the
APC government.
“We are here to pay final respect to the gentleman and Nationalist, Alex Ekwueme.”
