Former Governor of Lagos State and a leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday denied an alleged rift between him and Governor Babatunde Fashola over oath-taking.
The denial came barely 48 hours after a widely circulated text message alleging an oath-taking rift between the duo, went into circulation.
Tinubu, who spoke at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, shortly after arriving aboard a private jet from Abuja and Akwa-Ibom, said he would not allow agents of the Peoples Democratic Party to create a conflict between him and his successor.
He, however, noted that his party only held a stakeholders meeting, where every member pledged allegiance to the body.
He said, "Have I ever appeared to you to be a person in oath and cultism? We held a stakeholders meeting where we all re-affirmed our loyalty to our party and we said in no way shall we take anybody who had been with our party and who now crossed over to either Labour Party or any other party for that matter and create prostitution kind of an environment in our party. There is no way we would take them back and we would not allow a PDP agent or a Labour Party that we know to divide us.
"The point is they do not have a presidential candidate; you can not say you endorse Fashola the governor and you field candidates against him at the House of Assembly. What sense does that make? You are trying to erode him and depopulate his member so that you can have a trading power with him.
He added, "We don't want political traders of scavengers on the corridors of power. If you are a democrat, you should be, you can not take both ways, it is impossible. It is their tradition, particularly my noisy neighbour, to go into oath taking and their party to go into blood oath, kolanut oath."
