Former Vice President and presidential aspirant
on the platform of the All Progressives
Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has denied the
report that a former Lagos State Governor,
Bola Tinubu, is lobbying for another aspirant
and former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.).
He said Tinubu would not make such moves, as
the ex-Lagos State governor remained an elder
statesman that would not be involved in
favouritism.
A national newspaper (not PUNCH) had
reported on Wednesday that Tinubu, who is
allegedly backing Buhari’s candidacy, might be
picked as the General’s running mate.
Atiku’s media adviser, Mr. Garba Shehu, who
spoke to our correspondent on Friday, said it
was expected that the leadership of the APC
would be divided by the contest between the
ex-vice president and Buhari.
Shehu said, “It is expected; there will be
people who will support Gen. Buhari and there
will be those who will support Atiku. The party
is not a military organisation. There is no
regimentation and there will be no forced
opinion on anyone.
“We have no knowledge of that (Tinubu’s
support for Buhari); we have no evidence of
that. All we know is that he has resolved to
play the role of a statesman and to stay above
the fray. There is nothing on ground to suggest
to us that Tinubu has moved away from that
position.”
Atiku’s spokesperson also denied reports that a
recent statement by the ex-vice president
suggested that Buhari is a fanatic.
In what reports described as a veiled reference
to Buhari, Atiku had in a statement issued on
October 2, 2014 said, “I believe that the next
president of our country, who, by the grace of
God, will be produced by our great party, must
be someone who is a unifier, bridge-builder
and not someone who bears ethno-religious
bias. Above all, he must embody a vision of a
Nigeria for all.”
Shehu, however, denied that the statement was
targeted at Buhari.
He said, “We did not say that. If you read our
statement, it is not saying that. If you go to
the market and make a general abusive
statement, if somebody raises his hands to say
‘I am the one he is referring to,’ that is his
own choice.
“I am sure Gen. Buhari himself will agree that
the country doesn’t need a fanatic. And we
didn’t say he is a fanatic. We never said he is a
fanatic; we never said that. If others say he is,
that is their view of him. We are happy that
the General himself has not raised his hands to
say ‘I am the one you’re referring to.”

So even APC people call Buhari fanatic as if we don't know. The sharia proponent and activist will never smell Aso rock in Gos's name.

Believe it or not Tinibu is the game changer in the Nigerian politics , every good political analyst know's this . He can never relegate atiku `a very good ally' in the 2015 politics.
That's why atiku bought into the party with his larger shares.
