Veteran flutist, Tee Mac recently made headlines on various news platforms after he revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is 86years old and unfit to run Nigeria.
Be that as it may, Tee Mac has cried out to who ever that cares to listen that his comments about Tinubu was misinterpretted by many, adding that if Tinubu becomes the president he will be there to advise him.
He said; “Well, Oluremi is Itsekiri. Her mother and my mother are cousins. So, we are related. Tinubu is my in-law.”
“Tinubu has been a music fan his whole life. I have seen him at many events. I saw him at an African music award. When you are out in public and you need music, you become friends.”
“I was taken out of context. I replied on Social media to someone who we used to converse with and it went viral. I have no negative thoughts or negativity over the candidacy of Tinubu.”
“I feel uncomfortable that it went viral. I respect Tinubu. I have known him for over twenty years. I was shocked by a statement taken out of context.”
“They went to my Instagram, and all media outlets took it up. I did not feel well that the remarks went viral.”
“If Tinubu becomes the president, he knows me. I will be there to advise.”
For those who don’t know, this is what Tee Mac said about Tinubu that went viral on social media…
“Any body can choose any candidate, but an intelligent person will ask himself the question: do I choose rightly? Is the man qualified? Is he honest? Did he tell us the truth about his age, background and how he made his money? Is this man healthy enough at 86 to take up the task of a totally run down country?”
“You see, Tinubu is my in-law. His wife Remi is my cousin. Her Itsekiri mother and my Itsekiri mother are sisters. I have known Tinubu since the mid 1980s personally and even arranged for him to stay in my stepfather’s house (Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony) in London, when he went on exile.”
“I stopped supporting him and stopped family visits, etc. when he sold Muhammadu Buhari to the nation in 2015. My advice to the nation is that this man is absolutely not qualified to become our next president.”
