Popular flutist and former President of Performing Musicians of Nigeria (PMAN), TeeMac has advised Nigerians to reject All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu at next year’s election.
The Flutist’s advice is not only devastating because of his celebrity status but also because Tinubu is his in-law.
TeeMac whose real name is Omatshola Iseli alleged in Facebook post that Tinubu was not qualified to be Nigeria’s President, and argued that there was so much about Tinubu that was shrouded in secrecy.
His advice was in a comment section of a writer, Yemi Olakitan’s Wall on Facebook, who had declared his support for the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu in which TeeMac said it was important for an “intelligent person” to interrogate Tinubu’s candidacy.
Said he, “Dear Yemi. Anybody can choose any candidate, but an intelligent person will ask himself the question: do I choose rightly? Is the man qualified? Is he honest? Does 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?”
The flutist went on to disclose that he stopped relating with Tinubu due to his role in the emergence of the President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
“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-80s personally and even arranged for him to stay in my stepfather’s house (Sir Mobolaji Bank-Anthony) in London when he went into exile.
“I stopped supporting him and stopped family visits etc when he sold that Buhari to the nation in 2015. My advice to the nation is that this man is absolutely not qualified to become our next president. Respectfully Tee Mac Omatshola Iseli.”
