A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Mr. Segun Osinkolu, has said that the South-West caucus of the party will resist attempts to rubbish the party’s National Leader, Aiswaju Bola Tinubu.

Osinkolu also advised the APC to address the leadership tussle in the National Assembly which he said could polarise the party.

There has been tension in the APC since the emergence of Dr. Bukola Saraki as the Senate President and Yakubu Dogara as the Speaker, House of Representatives, over the party’s preferred candidates for the posts.

Osinkolu said it was a “gross political miscalculation and misdirected act of vengeance” for some bigwigs in the party to see the battle as an opportunity to fight Tinubu at the expense of the party, when the former Lagos State Governor was only protecting the sanctity of the party’s supremacy.

In a statement in Ado Ekiti on Friday, Osinkolu urged the South-West caucus of the APC to resist being used against Tinubu.

He said, “We are not against the leaderships of Saraki and Dogara in the National Assembly. They are leaders of our party who deserve to hold any position of their choice as guaranteed by the constitution.

“But we frown at the way some of these leaders have been painting our leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, in bad light. They craftily painted the power struggle to mean a struggle between the APC and Tinubu. This is bad politics and we condemn such in its entirety.

“Any attempt to rubbish Tinubu will backfire. The people should not forget that the likes of Saraki, Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and the five Peoples Democratic Party governors that defected and helped the APC to win the presidential poll started like a child’s play.”

God bless you, as much as a die hard PMB stan that I am, I know without Tinubu, the alliance would have been dead on arrival.

Where were the naysayers when Atiku was dollarising the APC presidential primaries
Amaechi & Tinubu made it possible for Atiku's dollars to be "ineffective".

Anyone that wants to argue should just go back to 2011 & draw his/her conclusion from the CPC/ACN merger talk standoff....

Okay
