Tinubu Grooming Buhari's Successor For 2019 by ShySteady(m): 7:50pm On Jan 17, 2016
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Bola Tinubu, has denied raising alarm over plans
by defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
to scuttle the succession plans of President
Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 general election.
Tinubu who subtly threw his weight behind Buhari and
his possible successor for 2019, distanced himself
from an earlier statement credited to him, and
maintained that it was a clandestine plot to cause
disaffection within the ranks in the APC.
Earlier, Tinubu was reported to have expressed
disappointment in the level of defections into the
party, and was quoted to have said that Buhari’s
succession plans may be scuttled by former members
of the PDP, now in the APC.

Tinubu observed that an online media “Newswire” and
a section of the social media were being used by the
PDP for a concerted campaign against his person.
The report by Newswire had quoted the APC leader as
expressing fears that the influx of PDP members
would “crumble the APC, especially if President Buhari
decides to do just a term.”
The report further quoted Tinubu as saying: “The
President Buhari I know has very good intentions for
Nigeria and he would want to hand over to someone
he deems not to be corrupt.
According to a close source within the party, the
decision of the APC leader to distance himself from
the purported interview was a signal to his
endorsement of Buhari’s succession plans for 2019.
Tinubu, however, said he did not grant any interview
to any news medium and could never have said what
was ascribed to him.
He said it was a hatchet man’s job aimed at causing
disaffection in APC.

“It is even possible that the President already has
a successor in mind. And the danger is this: at the
fullness of time, these PDP defectors will form an
unholy alliance with some politicians in APC and
across the board to thwart the President’s
succession plan. And that will be the end of the
APC and a new rising for the PDP.”
“I’m not elated about the news of former senators
and even serving ones defecting to the APC. Even
if a governor from the opposition defects today, I
will not celebrate it.
“I think the President should be leery and
extremely cautious of these PDP defectors and
should not give them any serious responsibilities
because at the appropriate time, they will
manifest great evil and disaster against the
President and the APC.” He was quoted to have
said in the purported interview.
“It is not the first time that kind of story would be
ascribed to me even though I did not grant
anyone an interview. It is a hatchet man’s job
whose purpose is to cause disaffection in our
great party,” he said.
