President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said there was no truth in reports suggesting that he and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress were at loggerheads with a national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President described the reports as “unfounded and mischievous.”

Shehu said the President who, according to him, was highly embarrassed by such reports was in regular contact with Tinubu before, during and after the recent Ondo State governorship election.

He said any suggestions that the President and the party machinery were working to destroy Tinubu had no foundation in truth or any credibility.

The presidential spokesman added that the President was impressed by Tinubu’s assurance not to work against the party in Ondo and he honoured his words.

He said Buhari regarded Tinubu as a priceless political asset to the party whose immeasurable contributions to the development and progress of the ruling party were known to all.

He advised those he called rumour-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 the Jagaban and his pivotal role in the party.”

The statement partly read, “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 the APC members and supporters to ignore rumours that could harm party unity.”

Where you at O ye children of hate

Tinubu never worked against APC---fact. Henceforth, all Igbos forever remain silent..

*heavenly truth*

Buhari,tinubu,atiku,Jonathan,Saraki etc all of you are mad

Whether he work for or against, that's his right and I don't know why some people should be fuming in the mouth because of it

olusegun abraham once ask akoko people not to vote oke because, he was part of those who scultle abraham chance of winning d primary. So buhari knws d fact

Double gbosa for Tinubu.
Even the presidency knows that they can't toy with the cobra's head.


The Jagaban of Nigerian politics.

Yes APC worked against tinubu....next

There's zero evidence Tinubu supported Oke. Not even a smoking gun. It's all unfounded rumours.

It was Aregbesola that supported Oke, and did so even during the APC primaries.

One circumstantial evidence is this: on election day, APC was paying up to 5k per voter in several areas. PDP apparently was paying as low as N300. Oke didnt have much to pay.

If he was trully supported by Tinubu, he would have the financial power to at least match PDP. Afterall, Lagos state was one of the major funders of the Edo election.

The presidential spokesman added that the President was impressed by Tinubu’s assurance not to work against the party in Ondo and he honoured his words.

Why did Tinubu have to give assurance that he will not work against the party if all is well well with your party?. Tinubu has lost grip of SW

He will continue to loose. Buhari is just giving him soft landing to save his face.

Tinubu didn't work against APC yet none of his governors attended APC's campaign even the one attended by Buhari.
