It is perhaps not surprising that on the eve of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer primary there are those running as candidates who wish to associate themselves with the President’s rise to elected office seven years ago.

There are many people who played parts large and small in his historic election in 2015, making history as the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president with power changing hands peacefully at the ballot box.

There are those who advised the President to run again; those who decided to build a political party – the APC – that could finally be the political vehicle capable of delivering victory where all other opposition parties and alliances before it had failed.

Those decisions may have been agreed upon by a few. But they were delivered by thousands and voted for by tens of millions. No one can or should claim to have made the possible.

Yet as important as that moment was, it is not what should decide the next general election.

What matters is the future: the policy platforms, the ideas, the drive, and the determination to take over the President’s stewardship of our country and build upon his legacy to make our country better than it has ever been.

The person most demonstrable in those qualities is the one to lead our party and our country forward.

That failure called Tinubu wants to take credit for everything.

He made Buhari president,he made osinbajo vice president. He made Jide Sanwolu Governor.


All these and he's still crying that he's not getting support from Buhari.



He should move to another party and make himself president. What a dullard.

Ungrateful folks populate APC

LegendHero:
Lol why is Buhari afraid to mention Tinubu name in the press release.

When Asiwaju spoke, he mentioned Buhari name directly and we can validate all he said about Buhari crying on national TV.

Buhari is a coward for not inserting Tinubu name in this release. Garba should go back and recompose it and release again.

This is vanguard in 2011 on it.

COMMENT ON THE STATEMENT MADE BY A LEADING APC FLAGBEARER CANDIDATE

It is perhaps not surprising that on the eve of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer primary there are those running as candidates who wish to associate themselves with the President’s rise to elected office seven years ago.

There are many people who played parts large and small in his historic election in 2015, making history as the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president with power changing hands peacefully at the ballot box.

Those decisions may have been agreed upon by a few. But they were delivered by thousands and voted for by tens of millions. No one can or should claim to have made the possible.

Yet as important as that moment was, it is not what should decide the next general election..

What matters is the future: the policy platforms, the ideas, the drive, and the determination to take over the President’s stewardship of our country and build upon his legacy to make our country better than it has ever been.

The person most demonstrable in those qualities is the one to lead our party and our country forward.

OkoroBufo:

That was Garba Shehu writing the speech, he is too small to cough out Tinubu's name. When Tinubu was working out the merger with Buhari, Garba Shehu was still a media aide to Atiku having no idea about what was going on.

Look at them receiving instructions from Tinubu in Bourdillon before 2015 election.
