I Am Not Fighting With Tinubu, He's Still An Asset To Me. Buhari Speaks
From the ongoing rumour suggesting that pres. Buhari and APC leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubi (aka JAGABAN) are in thug of war, pres. Buhari has finally spoken his mind that there is no such like that.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on
Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a
statement released this evening, said President
Buhari was highly embarrassed by such
"suggestions" and that he was in regular contact
with Tinubu before, during and after the Ondo
gubernatorial election.
Garba said any suggestions that the President
and the party machinery were working to
destroy Tinubu had no foundation in truth or any
credibility, explaining that the President was
impressed by Tinubu's assurance not to work
against the party in Ondo and he honoured his
words.
The Presidential Media Aide also explained that
President Buhari regards Tinubu as a priceless
political asset to the party whose immeasurable
contributions to the development and progress
of the ruling party are known to all. Garba
Shehu advised rumor mongers to stop spreading
the seeds of discord and animosity between the
President and Tinubu or the party, adding that
the President is proud of Jagaban and his
pivotal role in the party and the movement.
President Buhari commended Tinubu's spirit of
comradeship in promptly congratulating Rotimi
Akeredolu who was elected Governor. The
President also noted that at a time his
administration is preoccupied with governance
issues, rumours of divisions and alleged
scheming within the party are counterproductive
to internal unity and cohesion in APC. He
appealed to APC members and supporters to
ignore rumours that could harm party unity.
