I Don’t Feel Safe, Already Planning To Leave the Country Coz Of Tinubu -Ex-Lagos Deputy Gov

Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu has under her belt a unique achievement-she was the first female civilian Deputy Governor in Nigeria.

Though she is an indigene of Lagos state like the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu ,however rather than joining other indigenes of Lagos state to celebrate his election victory , she has raised the alarm claiming that her life is in danger.

Ojikutu, who served as  Deputy Governor under Sir Michael Otedola between 1992  and 1993,  also disclosed  that she had  since begun  the process of renouncing her Nigerian citizenship.

It will be recalled that she had promised to do so before the presidential election if Tinubu emerges as winner.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned the former Deputy Governor, a one-time Commissioner at the Federal Character Commission (FCC), said this during the press conference she presided over at her residence in Ikoyi, Lagos on Wednesday.

 Ojikutu added that she got into Tinubu’s bad books 20 years ago when she opposed his governorship ambition noting that efforts to mend fences with him had failed while former President Olusegun Obasanjo also tried to   settle the matter but also could not get this achieved.

‘I came out before the election to say that if former Governor Bola Tinubu wins the election, I, Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu, will renounce the citizenship of this nation and I have my reasons.

When he won, people called me and said he had won, that he would not do anything bad to me but I know this man and I have known him for over 20 years now, I know what he has done to me personally.

So calling this press conference is also to show that I am personally endangered by the current situation. I am endangered, I have been ostracized, humiliated in places where I should be honoured because of his (Tinubu) not being at peace with me.

The last thing before the election was when it came to me that he was asking if  am  still alive? When somebody mentioned my issue to him, I understand, he said, ‘Is she still around?  What does that mean?

What does he mean? I am alive, hale and hearty. Have they planned my death? Why should anybody be asking if I am still alive? Up till today since I raised that issue since January, none of his associates I have talked to has gotten back to me and this is giving me a personal concern. Am I safe? And there are many people like that in my category.’

People have been saying that people do not like former governor Bola Tinubu but nobody has bothered to ask what of the people that Bola Tinubu does not like? It is a two-way thing’ she said.

Ojikutu  disclosed that she once challenged Tinubu about how Lagos indigenes were being marginalized in his appointment and three months after doing this, he revoked the certificate of occupancy of her land at Victoria Island.

The former Lagos state Deputy Governor also justified her decision to support the Labour Party (LP) Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, because of her conviction that it was the turn of the South-East to produce the nation’s next President.

Ojikutu asked the judiciary, especially the Chief Justice of Nigeria to have the fear of God in  taking decisions on the disputes arising from the Presidential election  held on  February 25, 2023, saying ‘Iam confident that the judiciary would do the right thing’- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
