The Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Orientation, Sunday Dare, on Thursday hailed President Bola Tinubu’s for the role he played in the emergence of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

Prior dislodging the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led Federal Government in 2015, Buhari ran fruitlessly for presidency in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections.

It finally took talks and a political consolidation between Buhari’s Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Tinubu’s Action Congress of Nigeria (CAN) and some other parties to birth the All Progressives Congress (APC) which later won the 2015 presidential election.

Dare said could never have won the election without Tinubu’s support.

“If you look at the role Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu played in the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari and I can say clearly that without Tinubu’s role in forming the party, making the platform to be there, President Buhari would not have emerged,” he said.

Tinubu Backed Buhari’s Presidency
When inquired as to whether the idea of fielding Buhari as the then-APC presidential candidate, the former minister replied in the affirmative.

“It could never have been just me, it was a team. The electoral victories we won in 2015 and the one in 2019 had the writing of President Tinubu. We are a party and beyond me, several other people were also invited,” he expressed.

He additionally said something regarding Buhari’s performance in whose government he served as Minister of Sports and Youth Development.

He anyway wouldn’t say whether Buhari flopped in his eight-year tenure. The former minister explained that government is a continuum.

“Buhari came, did his piece and moved on. President Obasanjo did his piece and moved on, Yar’adua came, did his piece and moved on. Jonathan came, did his piece and moved on.

He added, “President Bola Tinubu is there with the imperative experience, boldness to take difficult choices that different presidents didn’t take.”

He expressed that the President ought to be complimented for removing the subsidy on petrol and other reforms pointed toward situating the nation’s economy.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Racoon:
And common sense failed to remind this fool that the same Tinubu and miscreants like him are the same fools blaming the same Buhari he endorsed for the many problems of Nigeria today. Spits!
