Abeokuta Ourtburst: Tinubu, 3 APC Govs go to ‘pacify’ Buhari in Daura

Buhari and Tinubu 

Three governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accompanied Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the party’s presidential candidate, to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in Daura, Katsina state.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that President Buhari is in the state for a two-day working trip. Katsina is also the president’s home state.

Tinubu’s visit comes in the wake of his outburst during the ruling party’s presidential rally in Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, on Wednesday.

The APC presidential flag-bearer had said the Naira redesign and lingering petrol scarcity were designed to scuttle his chances in the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.

Similarly, in Benue State this week, Tinubu blamed the fuel scarcity on the PDP.

The APC governors who accompanied Tinubu for the “face-saving” visit to Buhari on Thursday night are the host, Aminu Masari, Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi, and Babagana Zulum of Borno.

It is not the first time that Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, will make controversial a statement against President Buhari.

Last year, prior to the APC presidential primary election, the 70-year-old insinuated that he ‘made’ Buhari president in 2015. He also laid claim to the presidency, saying ‘Emilokan’, which means “it’s my turn”. The controversial moment also happened in Abeokuta.
