Tinubu Speaks On Backing Buhari Against Osinbajo's Presidential Ambition by juwah007(f): 11:52am On Sep 22, 2019 |
Former Lagos governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has dismissed speculation that he was working against Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, over 2023 presidency. He said this in reaction to the latest actions taken by President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly targeted at his deputy. President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly met recently with Tinubu and Chief Bisi Akande, former APC Interim National Chairman of the APC. He reportedly complained about certain actions of the Vice President, and allegedly asked the duo to prevail on Osinbajo to resign his appointment from the cabinet. According to the Sunday Independent, while Akande was said to have opposed resignation, Tinubu allegedly supported the President and claimed that nothing was wrong with Osinbajo quitting if found to be culpable. Reacting, Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, denied rift between his principal and Osinbajo. “There is no truth in the allegation that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is against the Vice President. There is nothing stopping the Vice President from nursing a presidential ambition. If he wants to run, let him run. “We are all watching and waiting. It is all a bundle of lies that Asiwaju Tinubu is unhappy about that. People are just politicising the situation. Tinubu cannot muscle his own boy in any way”, he said. Last Thursday, Osinbajo stated that the Economic Management Team (EMT) which he heads was not scrapped or dissolved by the president. Buhari had on Monday, constituted an Economic Advisory Council (EAC), which is widely believed would take over the functions of the EMT. In response to an enquiry from the National Economic Council (NEC), which comprises the 36 state governors, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), among others, Osinbajo noted that both councils were for the benefit of the President He added that, “If NEC want to be briefed regularly by the Economic Advisory Council, EAC, we will request the President to do that”. Osinbajo explained to the council that such interaction will promote synergy. Speaking to newsmen after the meeting, Gov. Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, confirmed that he and his colleagues discussed Buhari’s new team with the VP. Yahaya said: “Governors requested for clarification from NEC’s chairman-the vice president (Osinbajo), on the relationship between NEC and the newly informed Economic Advisory Council. “And the vice president explained that those councils are advisory for the benefit of the President while NEC is established by the constitution, they are to complement one another. “He added that NEC could be briefed regularly on the activities of the Economic Advisory Council with the permission of the president,” he added. https://dailypost.ng/2019/09/22/tinubu-speaks-backing-buharis-moves-osinbajo-vps-presidential-ambition/amp/ |

The media has seen that the people have seen the truth about the Fulani herdsmen issue and there is really nothing to disparage the president with again. Hence their focus on the VP. This is because they are thinking he would succeed the President in 2023. Mark it, more malicious releases are coming for VP Osinbajo and he knows it, the reason he hasn't responded. There is no substance in all these spurious reports. They are all mere fabrications. 2 Likes 1 Share |

If the cabal truly wanted to deal with the VP for the actions he took while he was VP, he wouldn't have been the running mate to the President in the second term election. BTW, this cabal conspiracy theories are just BS, the President and his VP are surely on good terms and there is nothing the cabal (if they truly exist)can do to it. This is not Yaradua's government where Saraki, Turai and Ibori were calling the shots. Moreover, PYO isn't just a newspaper reading VP like GEJ was under Yaradua, he has been the most active VP since the return of Nigeria to democracy. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Whatever the political permutations are, Tinubu will not be president in 2023. Tinubu is unelectable outside the south west. |

Tinubu said, "If he wants to run, let him run". Tinubu didn't say if he wants to resign (run away), let him resign. The Presidency comprises The President, The VP and their Staff. Whenever a Report goes to one. of them, it is to the Presidency. I think Soludo not Salami is afraid of this Arrangement. |

This is nonsense. Osinbanjo has always been loyal to Tinubu and I see no reason why Osinbanjo and Tinubu will be at loggerhead. This is just mere speculation. Osinbanjo can't go against his master (Tinubu) |
