Tinubu Rejects South East Inclusion as Part of his Presidential Campaign Council


APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu Rejects Buhari’s Nominee, Okadigbo's Widow, As South-East Coordinator, Appoints Campaign Secretary Against Party’s Advice

A fresh crisis is currently brewing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) after its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s nomination of Margaret Chuba Okadigbo as the Zonal Coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in the South-East.

Margaret is the widow of the late former Senate President, Dr Chuba Okadigbo.

Multiple sources in the presidency told SaharaReporters that Buhari asked Tinubu to pick Margaret to lead the ruling APC’s campaign in the region but he refused.

“His (Tinubu) South-East penetration is the lowest, he refused Buhari’s nomination of Okadigbo’s wife to handle his South-East campaign. He felt she’s not capable enough despite being told by the President to pick her,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.

In January, Buhari appointed Margaret as chairman of the newly-incorporated Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

Okadigbo was a political ally of Buhari and a one-time running mate.

He was Buhari’s running mate when he contested for President on the platform of the defunct All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003.

The sources added that the appointment of James Faleke as the party’s Presidential Campaign Council Secretary was made against the advice of the APC National Executive Council.

Tinubu in August named Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives as the Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu/Shettima 2023.

“A serious crisis is rocking the party over Tinubu’s refusal to accept those nominated to him by party leaders to handle his campaign.


“While he (Tinubu) wants to handpick key people to head the campaign council, party leaders especially the chairman and the presidency through the cabal want their loyalists to be in charge.

“I won’t deceive you, Tinubu’s candidacy is currently receiving the cold shoulder. Imagine, he said he doesn’t trust the party chairman. Now he can’t constitute a presidential campaign committee because of such a high-level crisis.

“Major senators in Katsina, Gombe, and Kebbi are defecting to PDP. His worsening illness is now of serious concern too as he is planning another medical trip abroad.


“He made Faleke his PCC Secretary against the party’s advice that he should appoint one Tarka from Benue State,” another source added.

Before the June presidential primary election of the APC, the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu favoured the emergence of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, as the party’s candidate.

However, Lawan came a distant fourth in the primary with 152 votes against Tinubu’s 1,271 votes.

The APC candidate recently denied nursing grudges against the APC national chairman, saying, “To the rumour manufacturers, I read in some papers about a disagreement between myself and the chairman and that was a very big lie. They didn’t know that we have come a long way. The big masquerade dance not in the cage but in the market square.

“And that is what Adamu used to be, full of wisdom, we were governors together, before God put us together on this project again. He is going to deliver as the chairman of the party for me to become the president of Nigeria. And I am very confident of that.

“They can say whatever they want to say, throw all the jabs that they want, we are a party strongly determined to fulfil our dreams of turning Nigeria into a very progressive, highly developed, prosperous country.”

How is rejecting a specific candidate to handle SouthEast campaign due to lack of capacity same as rejecting a region?

Suffer no dey tire you for that side.

Better vote wisely to avoid hunger leading to drug trafficking.

If you will not tell yourselves the truth in the SouthEast, na Narcotics officers for Asia go tell you the koko of your situation.

He can't control himself again. He has started showing it already.
Even Buhari advised but he turned it down. When you think Buhari is bad, this one is pro-max.

We will never have a repeat of such again, God forbid.

Nigeria knows better now. No to you.

Did same happen since you started supporting Obi?

You see how the mods had to edit the title that was trying to fuel unwarranted bigotry?

Same way you need to edit your reasoning.

Well, that's the thing about Tinubu, he always choose based on competency and not some nepotism BS being perpetrated by Buhari.

He can't just choose someone just because he wants to honour someone else,

An example is Lagos, always leave Lagos to competent hands.

Just give it to the man.

He is confused.

They criticise Buhari and say Tinubu is responsible for his shortcomings, while claiming Osinbajo that is in Government with Buhari would have been better.

Yet they are still vexed that Tinubu is not accepting Buhari's advice.

This confusion is antagonistic.

Re: Tinubu Rejects Margaret Okadigbo As Part Of His Campaign Council by Nobody: 5:56am On Sep 22, 2022
You make it look and sound like it's Tinubu that runs the show alone! You make it look and sound like it's a personal affair. You make it look and sound like there's no Campaign Council overseeing a matter like this, and that Tinubu himself may just be under the control of such a Council. You mae it look and sound like Tinubu can do and undo. Once again, you have cunningly allowed your provincial and bucolic tendencies colour an everyday consideration in party affairs with the brush of tribalism. You go about sowing the seed of hate and and division amongst Nigerians whose only desire is to have good governance. Now, I wonder: What type of a man sired you and what type of a woman gave you birth!
