Tinubu shocked critics expecting ‘blunder’ at Chatham House – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) said that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, its presidential candidate, had let down his detractors with his recent presentation at Chatham House on Monday.

This was said by Ali Ali, the APC’s deputy director for media and publicity, on Tuesday during a live interview with Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

Ali claims that Tinubu let down people who attended the Monday policy institute in London expecting “glitches.”

At the Chatham House, Tinubu spoke on his ideas for the military, the economy, the education system, and technology, among other things.

He praised the party’s nominee.

He said, “I would say he did very well as expected, maybe to the surprise of his traducers who thought as usual, there would be one or two glitches and they would latch unto that and make a feast out of it,” he said.

“But you can see that he spoke well and, of course, naturally, people react differently. Some would applaud and some would naturally condemn. Such is the enigma called Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“A lot of people say his cognitive abilities are on the decline and they make a feast out of it. You see all kinds of memes on social media. But occasionally, it happens to people – senior moments, they call it, I think, in medical terms. It happens to the best of people.”

Ali queried the rationale for arguments that Tinubu’s cognitive abilities were on the decline and that the APC stalwart played it safe by redirecting questions addressed to him.
