From Princely Onyenwe
It was indeed a stage- managed drama and a complete charade showcased at the Chatham House lecture few moments ago where the All Progressives Congress APC Party Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu Tinubu failed Nigerians for proving unfit to answer some technical questions directed to him.
However Bola Tinubu directed his aides that make up the london trip to answer the questions on his behalf.
Nigerians all over the world have criticized such representation which they tagged a Misfit attention created at Chatham House lecture london.
Meanwhile, Tinubu has reeled out why he could not take the questions directly, but delegated El-Rufai, Ayade and others to answer for him at Chatham.

Why I delegated El-Rufai, Ayade, others to answer questions at Chatham House – Tinubu
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him.
According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.
Tinubu also delegated a former Commissioner for Finance in Lagos State, Wale Edun, to respond to a question on how he (Tinubu) would boost the economy if elected.
Others, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; former Ekiti Governor, Kayode Fayemi; APC National Women’s Leader, Dr Betta Edu; also answered questions.
Tinubu said: “Let me demonstrate here one of those philosophies and doctrines that I believe firmly in, it is team-ship, unbreakable team. To demonstrate that, I’ll assign it to my team.”
On education, Tinubu promised to provide student loans and reform the Almajiri educational system practiced in northern Nigeria.
El-Rufai who answered questions on security, stated that banditry, terrorism, separatism, and oil theft require a new approach including increasing the number of security operatives.
“The numbers must change and the Bola Tinubu administration already has a blueprint which is embedded in our action plan to address this. We will scale up the numbers of the armed forces. We’ll ramp up not only the numbers but the training and the equipment,” the Kaduna governor said.
Alake, on his part, answered the question on how Tinubu plans to lift Nigerians out of poverty if elected and also curb oil theft in six months. “The key to his policy for increasing economic growth is to enable the private sector to make the investment that will increase productivity, grow the economy, create jobs, and reduce poverty,” he said.
Also, Gbajabiamila responded to the question on the strategies of Tinubu on defence, the APC national women’s leader answered the question on healthcare delivery, and how to convert brain drain into gain gain for the country amongst others.
In the contrary, NIGERIANs all over the globe has condemned this measure and called it a national embarrassment since an intending president cannot flow well and answer the simple but tactical questions from the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation
