Presidency Denies Rift Between Buhari And Tinubu

Published

The presidency has discredited reported claims of a alleged rift between President Buhari and Apc leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 

In a statement released by the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the President Garba Shehu, the Presidency stated that reports of a rift between the two leaders of the APC are false and the mere handiwork of media mischief makers

The statement added that if Asiwaju is not a frequent face in the Aso Rock Villa, it is on account of the fact that he is not a cabinet member of this government.

It read; 

The Presidency wishes to make it clear that there is no rift between President Muhammad’s Buhari and his strong ally, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The President and the Asiwaju have a very strong commitment to the All Progressives Congress, APC towards bringing CHANGE and this is a commitment they have made to the Nigerian people.

Recent reports of a rift between the two leaders of our party are false; the handiwork of some media mischief makers.

It is quite unfortunate that certain sections of the media feed on birthing controversies, providing a nexus for naysayers who work behind the scenes planting such stories which are absolutely false.

This administration is aware of pessimists and cynics who willfully spread misinformation to create doubts in the minds of the people about the relationship between its leaders and whether the party will remain intact or not.

There is no doubt that the President and the party are focused on development, peace and security, restructuring of the economy and war against corruption in the country and will not be diverted to anything else

This desperate attempt to fool the people will not succeed.

To President Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu remains one of the most respected political leaders in the country who has stuck to his principles in the face of all adversities.

He was instrumental to the formation, growth and development of the APC into a formidable political party and the political alliance is waxing even stronger

If the Asiwaju is not a frequent face in the Aso Rock Villa, it is on account of the fact that he is not a cabinet member of this government.

The fact that he is not every day around the Villa does not make him less of a friend to the President and this administration
