The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu is very bitter with the party’s National Leader and Presidential Aspirant, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his comment about President Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
For those who don’t know, Tinubu, at a meeting in Ogun State recently stated that without him, Buhari wouldn’t have become president in 2015.
However, reacting to Tinubu’s remarks, Adamu, said; “We are saddened by what we saw in the video and pray we don’t see such again. I, as Chairman of this party, have a duty to stand by Mr President.”
“Tinubu went as far as saying how Gen. Muhammadu Buhari went to him, citing instances of even prostrating in tears begging him to endorse him and to support him for the presidency. He claimed Buhari went to him.”
“His utterances are very very insulting. It’s very very unbecoming for a person of that standing to do what he did to the sitting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the President produced by the votes of the APC.”
“Though the president says he belongs to everybody. It is amazing how a fellow APC person would make that kind of comment in that kind of circumstances about the president. We take exception to this. It has shown that he does not show any appreciable level of respect for the office of Mr President.”
“Therefore we want to make it public that we are saddened by what we saw in the video, in that reportàge and we condemn it in the strongest of terms. We do hope that he would never say that kind of again, particularly of the APC extraction to make such kinds of comments.”
“If there is a need to punish any member of a party, not just Tinubu, we will bring it to the party’s book. But we are watching.”
