PRESIDENT BUHARI AND TINUBU STILL TOGETHER, ANALYSTS NEED TO GET THEIR FACTS RIGHT

The very essence of the requests put to the Emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by President Muhammadu Buhari, which were unanimously approved aim to pull back the party, faced with an existential crisis from the brink of collapse, follow the constitution and take everyone along.

While this action has been widely accepted with great relief by lovers of democracy and the rank and file of the membership, we are concerned that political vulturism masquerading as “smart analysis” is selling the commentary that this is a Buhari-Tinubu “showdown.” Nothing can be farther from the truth.

To put the records straight: In the formation of this great party and giving it leadership, President Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who are reckoned as the founding fathers of the APC are both inspired by democratic norms, national interest and not at all by partisan motivations. These are the qualities that have made them move past cynical distractions.

They are in touch with one another. Their relationship remains as strong as ever and between the two of them, only they know how they manage their enviable relationship.

Try as hard as they could, the opposition parties have used all their intellectuals and their supporters in the media to break this relationship and have failed. And they won’t.

For President Buhari who has received much of the cynical commentary, Nigerians know him as someone who will not do anything with bad intentions. Neither will he do anything out of partisan motivations or for himself.

This whole exercise, that should lead to massive reform and overhaul of the leadership of the party, as he said in that brilliant speech, was ''to save the APC from the imminent self-destruction. We have to move ahead. We have to take everyone with us and ensure that the party is run in accordance with democratic norms and with consensus. We have to work for the benefit of the country.''

The leaders of the party, who have received two successive massive mandates to govern the country and a majority of the states should be judged by how this exercise turns out in achieving these objectives, not cursed at the mere commencement of the process.

“Asiwaju’s people are not seeing the big picture,” one of the sources said yesterday in reference to reported muttering from associates of the national leader of the party that his influence had been curtailed with the sack of the Comrade Adams Oshiomhole led executive.

You cant just comoare Tinubu relationship with Bubari as slave and master bcs Tinubu is cashing in massively for himself and SW and his boys are in top ranking positions

Lostz:

all his boys are playing second fiddle to Fulani.

lie Mohammed is just a minister. each state is entitled to a minister

festacman:
The message that APC is bigger than every member but it belongs to every member.

But by the way, why do many people just wake up praying, wishing and hoping that Tinubu would be stripped naked and placed on a podium in a market? Is it just a prize to pay for being enigmatic or just white witchcraft?

Covidodo:

But it had to be a Tinubu boy from Kwara??
You are a complete joke
