Buhari Is Campaigning Against Tinubu – Human Rights Lawyer, Odinkalu Alleges

Speculations have emerged that President Muhammadu Buhari might be working against the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Naija News reports that the former chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Professor Chidi Odinkalu has come out to claim that President Buhari could be working against Tinubu.

According to the human rights lawyer, the president, usually at APC rallies he features, is always telling Nigerians to vote for someone with attributes that actually does not reflect quite well on Tinubu.

Odinkalu told Tribune that the president might be indirectly campaigning for another candidate and not Tinubu.

He said he doesn’t see the need why Tinubu would keep presenting the president who speaks in such a manner which seems to be against him.

He, however, said it was left for the APC flagbearer to decide if he wants to keep presenting Buhari at his rallies or not.

The human rights lawyer advanced that “The president is campaigning with Tinubu and telling the people ‘don’t vote for a fraudulent person.’

“The question for me is: does Tinubu want to continue presenting the president for him to keep saying the kind of things he is saying at the rallies, things that cut both ways and impossibly actually don’t reflect quite well on his candidate, it seems to me.

“That is up to the candidate to decide. I also don’t see how Buhari necessarily sells Bola Tinubu as a candidate.”
