Manipulators wanted to use it for politics, but you did what you had to do to some of us and we challenged that. I believe in what you believe: transparency, honesty and integrity, making the people the cornerstone of every economy of a nation,” Mr Tinubu said.“But, I must thank you once again that no matter the level of things here and there, you did not falsely paint a crime and charge me falsely. Thank you, and in the spirit of this month of Ramadan, I have forgiven you everything and it is the truth. Some could have created chronic charges, even if the court will let you go, but you refused to use that office to abuse it, you refused to allow that. Thank you very much. You believe in what we believe, so we are expecting you to join the democratic struggles and liberate this country,” he said.He, however, asked Mr Ribadu to make good all the opportunity he has now to benefit the needs and yearnings of Nigerians, which he claimed had been deprived of quality leadership.“I have heard so many speculations in the papers. So make it real. We must take control of our future,” he said.The former Lagos State governor was accused of certificate forgery and shoddy dealings in the sale of the state’s N4 billion shares in the telecommunications outfit, Econet (now Zain) during his tenure, an allegation which he then denied.With his name still listed as one of those under prosecution for one case or the other, he said that the transaction was a “straightforward institutional investment”, which earned the state over N15 billion profit.Anti-democracy Berating how bad eggs that contributed to the annulment of June 12 are now also parading themselves as presidential aspirants and politicians in the country, Mr. Tinubu described them as dubious, saying “did they say they are democrats and they want to contest the next election and annul June 12? If they were, they would not have annulled June 12.”He said Nigeria only honours fraudulent men and those that have no reason for receiving national honours.“Look at the annual list of our national honour award. Only those that are known for their notoriety and contributions to economic instabilities are there,” he said.Sitting beside Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, Mr. Ribadu has also been linked to the 2011 presidential race and has promised that all Nigeria needs now is a youthful leadership, which he is set to grant.A delegate of the National Association of Nigerian Students, led by Agbabiaka Ahmed, also stormed the venue of the event at exactly 1:08pm to call for the establishment of voters registration centres on university campuses.
