I Made Buhari President, Osinbajo Vice President — Tinubu

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress (APC), claimed to have spearheaded the political struggle that resulted in the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

Tinubu also stated unequivocally that he nominated Professor Yemi Osinbajo to be Buhari’s running mate.

He addressed the APC delegates at the presidential lodge in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, ahead of the party’s primaries.

Former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode said he made the allegations for the first time in Ogun State, the home state of APC presidential candidate Yemi Osinbajo.

He claimed that Buhari offered him a ticket as a running mate, but that other blocs came up against him, fanning ember of Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“You have not heard this from me before. This is the first place I am saying this,” Tinubu who addressed the delegates in Yoruba said.

Speaking on Buhari’s emergence, he said “If not me that led the war front, Buhari wouldn’t have emerged. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he won’t contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina. I told him you would contest and win, but you won’t joke with the matters of the Yorubas. Since he has emerged I have not been appointed minister. I didn’t get contract.

“This time, it’s Yoruba turn and in Yorubaland, it’s my tenure.”

He added that Dapo Abiodun would not have won the 2019 election if it hadn’t been for God and him.
