A group of youths from the Northern part of the country under the aegis of Northern Youths Movement (NYM) have pointed accusing fingers at All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu of being responsible for calls for President Muhammadu Buhari to resign, The Sheet reports.

It would be recalled that a group, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Media Watchdog had called for President Buhari to resign after he said his age -72 years – might hinder his effectiveness in office.

PDP has however come out to deny any affiliation with the group.

NYM, speaking via a statement issued by its Protem Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato on Thursday, June 18, 2015 accused Tinubu if gradually unfolding his plans to usurp the presidency from Buhari.

The NYM went on to say that the press statement calling for the resignation actually emanated from Ti nubu’s media office in Lagos, adding that it was part of the plans by the former Lagos State Governor to install his stooge, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as president.

The group further said that Tinubu was desperate to have his other cronies, Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabiamila elected as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.

The statement read: “The comment made in South Africa by President Buhari, regarding his age was deliberately hyped by Tinubu’s hatchet men in the media and the call for the president’s registration was aimed at gauging the reaction of Nigerians.

“Also, we are aware that Tinubu’s camp is working on the possibility of President Buhari not completing his term, either due to failing health or death.

“However, we youths in north are aware of his (Tinubu) plot against the north and we wish to tell him that we are watching.

“He has failed in his attempt to hijack the National Assembly and use it to impeach President Buhari and we want to assure Tinubu and his cronies that President Buhari will not only complete his tenure, he will go for second term.”

[s]If these fools (PDP paid media houses) no longer have anything tangible to publish about Tinubu, I believe they would tell us he (Tinubu) was responsible for the moon-sighting for Ramadan yesterday. The would tell us "If not for the intervention of Tinubu, moon wouldn't have been sighted and fasting wouldn't have commenced." PDP has failed and we've rejected them (so they're dead) and no amount of propaganda would resurrect them![/s]

Northern Group Warns Against Plot To Undermine Tinubu

http://leadership.ng/news/440604/northern-group-warns-against-plot-to-undermine-tinubu

A group under the aegis of the Patriotic Northern Coalition for Justice, Peace and Equity has called on the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to beware of some politicians and elements within the party plotting to undermine the party’s chieftain and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu.

The national coordinator of the coalition, Alhaji Babangida Sule Jnr, told newsmen in Kaduna yesterday, that Tinubu is the bedrock of APC and still commands great respect in his region and in the party, adding that any plot against his interest will be counter-productive.

He said the North is still grateful to Tinubu for his contributions towards Buhari’s victory and that the coalition will do all it can to stop anyone or group planning against him in the APC.

“Politicians are already strategising for 2019 and they will stop at nothing to achieve their aim. Some of them are in APC and we have uncovered that part of their aims is to undermine the party’s chieftain, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, because they see him as a stumbling block. But we the Patriotic Northern Coalition won’t allow them because we are still grateful to Tinubu for what he has done for the North in the 2015 general elections, particularly his efforts in the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari.

We know that many people played crucial roles in the emergence of Buhari, but Tinubu tops them all.

“Personally, I know of the many times he came to Kaduna to meet with Buhari and assure him that he would do all he could to support him and ensure his victory.

“I know all these things because I was part of the groups that met with him on several occasions, including some APC governors today. Again, in order to ensure Buhari’s victory at the primaries, he used his influence to move the convention from Abuja to Lagos. We know what happened after that and at the final election. So, we won’t allow anybody or group of persons to plan anything against his interest in APC. Besides, such plot will be counter-productive because Tinubu is an influential APC chieftain that commands respect in his region and some other regions.

“Moreover, any crisis in the APC today will be harmful to the nation because APC is the ruling party and whatever affects it can easily impact negatively on the nation,” he said.

Alhaji Sule also decried the moves by some people to form a caucus in APC just like what happened in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) then, where some people formed the New PDP. He said such calculation is totally wrong and will not augur well for the party.

He called on the APC and its leadership not to underrate the PDP too soon, saying that they are still a strong political force which can cause them upset if they are not very careful.

He urged everyone irrespective of party affiliation, tribe, religion and class to join hands with President Buhari so that he can transform the nation and deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
