Folashade Tinubu-Ojo

CHIEF (Mrs) Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in company of several other market women besieged the national secretariat of the All Progress Congress in Abuja on Wednesday over alleged neglect of market women and men who contributed tirelessly to the success of the APC in the last presidential election.

Tinubu-Ojo who is the Iyaloja-General of the Nigerian Market women led the group lamenting  that after putting in their best during the elections, the federal government seemingly ignored them and therefore prayed the leadership of the party to carry them along arguing that what is good for the goose is for the gander.

“I am here this afternoon to represent market women and men of Nigeria. There has been agitations, not even agitation based on allegation,the people believed that the government of the day is not carrying them along as it should be, that they worked round the clock for the party during the electioneering campaign, but after the inauguration most of us are not carried along,” she said.

In a nutshell, Tinubu-Ojo stated that their expectation is to be carried along and equitably given a sense of belonging as stakeholders in the party.

However, she didn’t clearly state if the national leader of the Party had a hint of the agitation, nevertheless, it  could be deducted that she led the association formally as the leader and not personally disappointed in the government of President Mohammadu Buhari in which her father is incontrovertibly an arrowhead. According to her statement when reportedly asked on the position of Asiwaju over the agitation, she diplomatically responded, “Because I am the daughter of the National leader of APC doesn’t mean that I must not represent my people well, I have to represent my people’s opinion”, she said.
