Insult Is My Food And Medicine, I Am Not Complaining – Bola Tinubu To Critics

 

Presidential aspirant, leader of the All Progressive Congress party (APC) Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that he is not moved by the insults hurled at him by critics.

The special adviser to the governor of Lagos State, Engineer Joe Igbokwe has taken to his Facebook page to share the words of Bola Tinubu.

In the quote shared by Engineer Joe on his page, Tinubu said that a lot of people get angry when they are verbally abused but he sees that as childish behavior. He added that as a politician, he is not bothered when he is being insulted. He described politics as a bully game that won’t get to him; hence is not bothered about being insulted.

In his words, “JAGABAN WROTE”

“Some people get easily angry whenever they see me being insulted. I think that is childish. I’m a politician and it is my right to be insulted. It is my right to be called names, it is my right to get bad wishes from whoever I outrun in the polity. Politics, sometimes, is a bully game, don’t get distracted, keep your eyes on the ball. It is a game of number but equally important, a game of common sense with the sole aim of improving people’s lives with the right policies.

“Mohammed Ali was a great boxer, he punched you once, he ran away, he made you angry so much that you lose your focus and balance, then he would hit you hard. Those who must beat him must never be angry or lose focus while fighting, keep your strategy to yourself….win some, lose some, that’s politics but you must strive to win all but you can never win all…..

“As for insults and abuse, I have received uncountable insults since I joined politics. You can see where I am today politically. I’m a product of insults, left right, and center, that’s my food and medicine. I’m not complaining, keep it up….”-Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
