A National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said the party under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari won’t be derailed in its ultimate task of fixing Nigeria.
The former Lagos Governor said this at the 10th Bola Ahmed Tinubu Colloquium held in his honour on Thursday (today) in Lagos to mark his 66th birthday anniversary.

Tinubu while giving his speech lambasted past leaders and political parties who according to him had all the resources to fix the country but preferred to waste and loot it dry.
In an obvious reference to a letter written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari asking him not to seek reelection, the APC leader said President Buhari won’t be derailed by such ‘political letter writers’ who had had their chances of fixing the country but ended up messing it up than they met it.
“We want to thank Nigerians for their patience for the past few years that the APC assumed power. The challenges are more than we imagined but we are more determined to surmount them. We won’t be derailed by those who now specializes in writing political letters as if they were not part of those that plunged us to our current sorry state. I won’t talk about that letter thing today. I shall find time to attend to it because I am happy that you have given me the best birthday present ever,’ Tinubu said to the admiration of participants at the event.
Dignitaries at the event include; President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, State governors, senators, members of the House of Representatives, business moguls and others.
