A member of the first family said there were efforts to convince the president to support a candidate that would protect his (Buhari’s) interest when he exits the presidency in 2023.

“We believe that Tinubu will not protect Buhari’s interest after his tenure, hence the need to look elsewhere.

“We are working hard to convince the president to support a candidate that would protect his interest after his tenure,” the source, who sought not to be named, said.

Similarly, a cabinet member said: “The president is not interested in Tinubu’s candidacy because he is not convinced that Asiwaju is the right person to succeed him.”

Daily Trust reports however that Tinubu has not formally declared his intention to contest for the presidency but different groups are openly campaigning for him

As part of measures to whittle down the influence of Tinubu in the South-West, the ruling APC has continued to bring in people who are perceived to be opposed to the former Lagos State governor.

A former governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, whose second term bid in 2019 Tinubu worked against, was on Tuesday named as a member of the contact and strategy committee of the party.

Aside Ambode, the party has harvested top shots in the South-West political zone, including a former deputy governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore; a former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel, and former Speaker Bankole, among others.

There are reports that they were cajoled by the APC towards demystifying Tinubu ahead of 2023.

Talking about the relationship between Buhari and Tinubu, a source in the presidency said: “President Buhari has never had a cordial relationship with Asiwaju.

“He just believes that the former governor of Lagos State should be used to achieve his ambition. After the 2015 elections, you will recall that Asiwaju was abandoned.

“He was brought close again before the 2019 elections. So, there is no need to worry about their relationship. It is the same scenario that is playing out,” he said.

A ranking APC lawmaker also told Daily Trust that the president was not happy with happenings in the South-West even as he accused Tinubu of doing nothing visible to quench the rising agitations in the region.

“I can bet you the president will not come out openly to support him (Tinubu) to become president even though the former Lagos State governor believes that this is payback time considering the huge investment he made in Buhari and the APC.

“Also, the president has had reservations about Tinubu’s personality because he sees him like any other politician in the country. But he became suspicious of him when Tinubu started claiming the title of a national leader of the party after the 2015 elections.

“As you know, the national leader of a ruling party should be the president. You know, the former Lagos governor is arrogant and the president is stubborn, the two cannot go together,” he said.

Efforts to get the reaction from the presidency were not successful as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, did not reply to a text message sent to him after phone calls.

Actually the only person with problem is you with igbos

Tinubu is 100 times ahead of Buhari and his cohort. As it's stand today, the only thing that can restrict Tinubu is if he's not interested and doesn't obtain the APC presidential nomination form.
The under work going on for Jagaban presidency realization is too enormous to be stopped by anybody. President Jonathan can relate better, even President Buhari isn't a novice on this one.
I'm surprised I see a larger percentage of zombies agreeing with President Buhari for the first time. Anything against Tunubu is a welcome idea to them.
Above all, "Who God has blessed, no one can curse"
Ride on Jagaban borgu himself. We are solidly behind your ambition and aspiration .

According to Senator Sheu Sani,

Minna helped Ota to the Villa, Ota refused to hand over the keys to MInna.

Jagaban helped Baba to the villa, Baba man not ... (sorry my data is finished)

Yes o, the fact that you guys need to keep reminding yourselves on some imaginary control tinubu has to do and undo is actually a straw on its own

Is this the same timlumbu that buhari has restricted to national leader stripping him of all the control of the party he brought into the merge

Absurd level of worship of this man is confusing. Politics is a game of numbers not imaginary loyalty, especially one you cannot guarantee outside Lagos. Come to Kebbi State NOBODY gives tinubu this imaginary respect.. yan baza kawai

All i know is, I want the President to come from the South, whoever the person is not my concern, but let the person be a man that will treat the north's fvckup, a man that will put the south first in everything, a man that will be so nepotistic and ignore federal character so much that the north will cry and wail till oblivion.

It is very irritating to be calling Tinubu name for 2023.

They swear for us?!

How can we be talking of a man with a lot of baggage, liabilities and gangsterism inclinations as a possible candidate for presidency?

Lagos needs urgent rescue from this greedy man's choking grip.

A man who openly displayed two bullion vans of money (money laundering) in the eve of election day and even boasted about his right of spending his money how he likes which got me asking how he even acquired the money he was boasting about. Every penny he is boasting about is Lagos state public fund which he diverted using the puppets he imposed on Lagos state

I am among the people pressuring the president not to support Tinubu

I pity Tinubu

Lalasticlala

Tinubu will be sending this nation backwards with his cronies
