President Muhammadu Buhari has
debunked rumours that he and the
leadership of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), are at loggerheads
with the National leader of the Party,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In a statement released by his Senior
Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari
said such rumours were unfounded and
mischievous.
He insisted that he was in constant
communication with Tinubu before,
during and after the Ondo governorship
election last weekend.
Buhari hailed Tinubu as a priceless
political asset to the party and said the
presidency and APC leadership was not
working to destroy the former Governor
of Lagos state
The statement 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 also appealed to APC members and
supporters to ignore rumours that could
harm the ruling party’s unity.
