The fear of President-Elelct, Bola Tinubu, is the beginning of wisdom for first female democratically elected Deputy Governor in Nigeria, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu.
She had come out to allege that President-elect, Bola Tinubu has threatened her life.
Ojikutu, Deputy Governor under Sir Michael Otedola between 1992 to 1993 raised this worrying alarm on Wednesday at her Ikoyi residence in an interview with newsmen.
In the course of it, the 77-year-old revealed having an age-old frosty relationship with Tinubu to which ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s endeavour to broker peace to no avail, with the certificate of occupancy of her land at Victoria Island revoked by the state government on account of the matter.
Ojikutu added that based on information reaching her from mutual associates, the
President-elect is after her life, and consequently she is on a mission to go into exile.
Her actual words; “I came out before the election to say that if former Governor Bola Tinubu won 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 saying that am I 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.
“I will not hold a Nigerian passport with Bola Tinubu as President. I am praying to God to give me the nation I can go to. I am not going to America or the United Kingdom. I want a simple place where I (can) stay and live for the rest of my life.
“I don’t know where I am going but I have already given it to the lawyers to please see where I can get the citizenship. I am working on it seriously before May 29.”
