Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), trended on Nigerian Twitter today over his recent comment in Kaduna State.
Speaking at the 7th edition of Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit (KADInvest 7.0), Tinubu had said El-Rufai “turned a rotten situation to a bad one”.
The presidential candidate later corrected the gaffe, but some social media users, especially those supporting his opponents, circulated the portion of his speech where he made the slip.
“I am openly begging Governor El Rufai not to run away for additional Degrees like PhD or others. There are educated relics. We are not going to let you run away. Your vision, creativity and resilience in turning a ‘rotten situation to a bad one’ are necessary at this critical time and that is why we are here,” he said.
