APC Crisis: Buhari Moves To Pacify Tinubu Ex- Lagos Governor by Mc4larin: 7:48am On Jul 10, 2015 |
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari is said to be
considering some measures that would cement
his relationship with former governor of Lagos
State, Senator Bola Tinubu, following the cracks
between the duo over the management of
National Assembly leadership crisis.
Sources close to the APC confirmed to the
Nigerian Tribune that the presidency had
discovered lately that Tinubu was angry and had
been putting some measures in place to pacify
the national leader of APC.
Tinubu’s camp was said to have been angered by
Buhari’s failure to back its strategies that would
have ensured the emergence of candidates of the
party for the positions of Senate president and
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
It was learnt that Tinubu was particularly angry
that Buhari did not make good his promise to
address APC legislators at the International
Conference Centre on June 9, leading to the
emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate
president.
It was also gathered that Tinubu’s loyalists
fingered Buhari’s men in the uprising that shut
out the former Lagos governor from the last
National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of
the party, held in Abuja, last week.
Though Tinubu is not a member of NEC
statutorily, no one really made an issue out of
that until Buhari assumed office.
Some Tinubu loyalists said they suspected the
presidency might have given tactical backing to
the group of former governors, who threatened to
storm the meeting if Tinubu was allowed at the
venue.
It was, however, gathered on Thursday in Abuja
that Buhari had resolved to pacify Tinubu, so that
the party would not break up under his watch.
A source said the presidency was considering
giving Tinubu four ministerial slots, to
compensate for the loss of speaker and Senate
president.
It was also gathered that Buhari’s late rally of
Senator Ahmad Lawan group and loyalists of
Honourable Femi Gbajabiamila was stemmed out
of his belief that Tinubu had to be accommodated
to further consolidate the APC.
But sources in the party said that there are some
hardliners who were of the view that Buhari could
continue to call Tinubu’s bluff, having assumed
the position of party leader.
A former security chief and another retired secret
service agent were said to be heading the crew of
Buhari loyalists urging the president to call
Tinubu’s bluff.
“A number of some hardliners in the party are
insisting that Buhari should ignore anything from
Tinubu, believing that the party can do without
him,” a source in the party said |

Buhari shouldn't let all this Northern elements to deceive him and lead him astray. Where we're they during the merger? Where were they when Tinubu was backing Buhari for APC primaries? Where we they when Tinubu was busy spending s money on Buhari? Now, the soup is ready, all of the go bring their plates. Stupid mofos 1 Like |

All these would amount to nothing if APC doesn't deliver from the centre. Just as PDP crumbled under Jonathan’s watch and eventually lost power at the centre, APC might also crumble under PMB's watch if care isn't taken. I know Doyin Okupe is somewhere happy . Unfortunately, PMB is too rigid and a lone ranger. He isn't a polithiefcian but a leader and might not have the necessary technical know-how to pacify all these factions. How best he is able to douse the tension remains to be seen. Though Tinubu is greedy and I never liked him but all political parties would be glad to have him in their party. A loss of Tinubu from APC is a huge gain for PDP. |

Buhari knows that the only reliable allies he has down South are the SW APC folks, the others (especially the SE) HATE him with a passion and want nothing more than to see him fail. |
