Former governor of Lagos State and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has reportedly forced members of the Southwest caucus of the party to endorse him as the Vice Presidential candidate to General Muhammad Buhari (Rtd), who won last Wednesday's party primary.

Tinubu told some members of his inner caucus that being VP is his best shot at Nigeria's presidency at this time considering that if Buhari completes one term or dies, he will, as improbably as it sounds, emerge leader of Nigeria

Why I Withdrew From Vice Presidential Race- Bola Tinubu

There came a time during the course of the events when our Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari offered the Vice Presidential slot to me. Being a normal human being, I was deeply moved and honored that he would consider me for the position. Being a patriot, I had to weigh my potential candidacy in all of its dimensions.

I have concluded that the interest of the party, our campaign and of the nation are better served if I retain my position as the National leader of the APC, allowing me to be a bridge builder across all divides. Although, I declined the position, I want to thank General Buhari for extending the honor to me.

Op, God bless you for trying to expose the secrecy and wicked agenda of APC. May God continue to grease your elbows.

idumuose:
Look at what Tinubu is wishing his party member.

Truly,the heart of man is desperately wicked.

ochon:
Tinubu is a cold-hearted, powermonger.

major466:
That's their trademark. APC is a party found on the platter of personal interest.

Why do you like spreading false news? This was the same piece of lie that Tinubu threatened to sue Sahara Reporters over. Seun, Obinoscopy, OAM4J and Afam4ever, look into this.
