Erstwhile Deputy Director, Coordination and Implementation of the APC Presidential Campaign Office in 2015, Mallam Mohammed Lawal, has dismissed reports that there was friction between President Muhammadu Buhari and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, stating that both of them are like Siamese twins.
Stating that the two cannot be separated politically, the APC chieftain told the Punch that Tinubu will only leave the governing party when the President quits APC, adding that there was no cause for disagreement between the duo as Tinubu had benefitted hugely from the Buhari-government.
The member of the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said, “Tinubu is not complaining and he has benefitted from this government. People are complaining on behalf of Tinubu in order to drive a wedge between him and the President.
“Tinubu has said he has no plan to form any mega party and even the Chairman of the PDP’s Board of Trustees has said he hasn’t spoken to Tinubu in over three years but people just don’t want to accept the truth. For God’s sake, people should leave the man alone.
“Tinubu is going nowhere. He and Buhari are like Siamese twins and no one can separate them politically. Tinubu will only leave the APC if the President leaves the APC.”
Buhari, had while recently debunking rumours that he and the leadership of the APC are at loggerheads with Tinubu, described Tinubu as a priceless political asset to the party.
