2023: Tinubu’s Statement About Buhari Is A Fact – Magnus Abe

The former lawmaker representing Rivers South-East senatorial district, Magnus Abe on Saturday said the statement of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu about President Muhammadu Buhari is a fact.

Tinubu had stirred reaction online after he claimed that President Buhari emerged as president in 2015 with his help.

The former governor of Lagos State stated this while addressing the APC delegates ahead of the party’s primary in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.

Abe in his reaction said people shouting about the statement are trying to create enemity between him and president Buhari.

The governorship aspirant in a statement released through his spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson wrote, “It is no longer news to all genuine lovers of the APC, that the past seven years have witnessed all sorts of evil plots by desperate politicians to destroy the fabric of unity between President Muhammadu Buhari and the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He did not say anything new, which Nigerians do not know. So, the politically contrived hue and cry about the factual statement is to create disunity between both leaders to promote their plots to upstage Asiwaju and destroy him in a classic ‘use and dump fashion’.

“I appeal to all members of our great party, the APC, to disregard the innuendos aimed at painting Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a bad light as, in the minds of the plotters, there is nothing he will do that will not attract condemnation.

“Delegates should focus on their future, the future of the country and our Party, and ignore these chameleons and wolves in sheep’s clothing; Asiwaju we know and Asiwaju we shall follow.

“Therefore, I urge all party faithful to be firm, especially delegates and be committed to the success of our party.”
