Director, media and publicity of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader, Bola Tinubu is planning to seize power from his party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) if he is elected.

While briefing newsmen in Abuja last night, Fani-Kayode expressed confidence that Buhari would not win the election for Tinubu to perpetrate the ‘barbaric’ act, adding that whoever was engaged in the plot to do so should desist in order not to plunge the country into anarchy and confusion.

“You will recall how Senator Tinubu wanted to be running mate to General Muhammadu Buhari in spite of the nationwide resentment for Muslim-Muslim ticket that he and General Buhari planned to foist on their party men and women. Senator Tinubu had justified the ticket by saying that competence was the important thing and not the issue of religion,” Fani-Kayode stated.

“But when he and General Buhari could not push through the agenda within the APC, he (Senator Tinubu), after being given the opportunity to nominate a vice presidential candidate, decided to prop up his stooge in the person of Professor Osinbajo.

“The ultimate objective of this plot is to ensure that Tinubu becomes President. The script is simple: given the questionable health of General Buhari, Senator Tinubu who is desperate to be president for his own selish reasons will simply bid his time in the evil expectation that General Buhari will not be able to go the whole hog. Our candid advice to General Buhari is: Watch Your Back. Our prayer is that God will save Nigeria from desperate politicians,” he said.
