Tinubu Praises Buhari For Not Endorsing Any Presidential Aspirant

The Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Sunday disclosed that some individuals wanted President Muhammadu Buhari to endorse one of the presidential aspirants in the party but he declined.

Tinubu, in a statement issued Sunday by his Media Office and signed by Tunde Rahman, stated that despite the pressure from various individuals, Buhari refused to back any aspirant but rather insisted that all the aspirants must be allowed to go to the field.

The APC flag bearer argued that the role played by the President and northern governors proved to him that Nigeria can survive its unity and challenges.

Naija News recalls that a day before the party’s presidential primary, the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu during a meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) announced that the President of the Senate, Dr Ahmed Lawan had been anointed the candidate of the party.

However, other members of the NWC and APC northern governors insisted that all the presidential aspirants must be allowed to go to the field.

Tinubu, while speaking to the leaders of Afenifere at the residence of Pa Reuben Fasoranti on Sunday in Akure applauded President Buhari for sticking to his beliefs despite others trying to convince him to do otherwise.

The former Lagos Governor revealed that at a time he became confused because of the different rumours getting to him.

He said, “The North proved to me Nigeria can survive its unity. Some people want President Muhammadu Buhari to announce someone but the President said No. He insisted the process must go on democratically.

“The President said anyone that would mess up the APC process would see the other side of his eyes. He remained upright and saw the process to the end.

“Northern APC Governors resolved that the Presidency must go to the South and especially South West. Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Abdullahi Ganduje and others supported me to the end. The battle was tough and at a point, I was in doubt. There were many rumours and I became confused about what to believe.
