According to report, Oyo North lawmaker, Senator Abdulfatai Buhari, says he will support All Progressives Congress stalwart, Bola Tinubu, to be the next president of Nigeria the moment he declares his interest in the nation’s top job.
Buhari said
this during an interview with journalist, Edmund Obilo, on Thursday.
When asked if
Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State was working against Tinubu’s interest,
Buhari said that was not true.
He responded,
“No. I am Tinubu. I am not Fayemi and I will not be in a meeting where somebody
would be working against Tinubu. I am supporting Tinubu.”
Responding to
a question on whether Tinubu was running for president, Buhari said, “If he
wants to be President, I will support him. I will campaign for him.”
As regards
the crisis rocking the APC in Oyo State, the lawmaker said the disagreement was
caused by the loss of the governorship seat to the People’s Democratic Party.
He, however,
said a former Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, is the leader of the
party in the state.
When asked if
the death of former Governor Abiola Ajimobi had affected the progress of the
APC in Oyo State, the lawmaker responded, “Of course. Ajimobi meant different
things to many people.”
