Presidency responds to Tinubu’s outburst against Buhari in Abeokuta

The Presidency has responded to the claims of a frontline Presidential aspirant and National leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu that without him President Muhammadu Buhari would not have emerged as the president in 2015.

The Presidency in its reaction said that no one single individual can claim to have single-handedly engineered the emergence of President Buhari as he was elected by millions of Nigerians into office.

This disclosure is contained in a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, where he said that the past should not decide the next general election and what matters today is to elect a candidate that would “make our country better than it has ever been.”

Shehu in the statement titled, ‘Comment on the statement made by a leading APC flagbearer candidate’, said many people played parts large and small in 2015 general election.
