Tinubu Grooming Buhari's Successor For 2019 by ShySteady(m): 7:50pm On Jan 17, 2016 |
National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has denied raising alarm over plans by defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to scuttle the succession plans of President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 general election. Tinubu who subtly threw his weight behind Buhari and his possible successor for 2019, distanced himself from an earlier statement credited to him, and maintained that it was a clandestine plot to cause disaffection within the ranks in the APC. Earlier, Tinubu was reported to have expressed disappointment in the level of defections into the party, and was quoted to have said that Buhari’s succession plans may be scuttled by former members of the PDP, now in the APC. Tinubu observed that an online media “Newswire” and a section of the social media were being used by the PDP for a concerted campaign against his person. The report by Newswire had quoted the APC leader as expressing fears that the influx of PDP members would “crumble the APC, especially if President Buhari decides to do just a term.” The report further quoted Tinubu as saying: “The President Buhari I know has very good intentions for Nigeria and he would want to hand over to someone he deems not to be corrupt. According to a close source within the party, the decision of the APC leader to distance himself from the purported interview was a signal to his endorsement of Buhari’s succession plans for 2019. Tinubu, however, said he did not grant any interview to any news medium and could never have said what was ascribed to him. He said it was a hatchet man’s job aimed at causing disaffection in APC. “It is even possible that the President already has a successor in mind. And the danger is this: at the fullness of time, these PDP defectors will form an unholy alliance with some politicians in APC and across the board to thwart the President’s succession plan. And that will be the end of the APC and a new rising for the PDP.” “I’m not elated about the news of former senators and even serving ones defecting to the APC. Even if a governor from the opposition defects today, I will not celebrate it. “I think the President should be leery and extremely cautious of these PDP defectors and should not give them any serious responsibilities because at the appropriate time, they will manifest great evil and disaster against the President and the APC.” He was quoted to have said in the purported interview. “It is not the first time that kind of story would be ascribed to me even though I did not grant anyone an interview. It is a hatchet man’s job whose purpose is to cause disaffection in our great party,” he said. Source:www.post-nigeria.com/tinubu-endorses-buharis-successor-for-2019/
