Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), made a blunder while speaking at the seventh Kaduna Economic and Investment Summit (KADInvest).

Speaking at the event on Saturday, Tinubu said Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, turned a “rotten situation to a bad one.”

“I am openly begging governor el-Rufai not to run away from additional degrees like PhD or others. There are educated derelicts,” the former governor of Lagos said.

“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.”

Read some of the reactions that followed on twitter after the remarks.

"El-Rufai’s vision, creativity and resiliency in turning a rotten situation into a bad one is necessary at this critical time" – Tinubu.

You see the reason why they're hiding him from media interviews? The degeneration has migrated to his mind and mouth.— Ayemojubar ? (@ayemojubar) October 15, 2022

Na wa o. Tinubu said El-Rufai has the capacity to turn "a rotten situation into a bad one." Was that a Freudian slip, a targeted missile, or an innocent verbal mishap? I see why Tinubu avoids the media like the plague. https://t.co/Rk1oWDkr0M— Farooq Kperogi (@farooqkperogi) October 15, 2022
