National leader of All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says there is no acrimony between him and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, regarding the position of Chairmanship of the party’s Board of Trustees.

While speaking to journalists at the State House, Abuja, after a meeting with President Buhari, Tinubu said: “Don’t listen to rumous, there is no struggle.”

“Our party is not even looking at the direction of power struggle or anything of such. The support structure is to encourage and support the President as you have heard from Chief Bisi Akande, to help him institutionalize his goal, principle and vision for a new Nigeria.

“There is pitfall in rushing, quick fix, depending upon the depth of the rot. And that rush can cascade into mistakes of unimaginable magnitude. There is equally glory and recovery in slowness, when you have a slow fix of a bad foundation. So to me, I would rather take the one that will last the country and endure for a longer period of time than the rush hour shopping.”

On the speculation that he came to the presidential villa armed with a list of potential ministers, he said: “What can I do about that, they have the right to speculate, they have the right to their lies and I have the right to debunk”.

When asked of his opinion about the PDP’s description of President Buhari as a dictator, owing to his delay in appointing ministers, Tinubu said the opposition party should keep quiet.

“I disagree with that. He was elected on a platform of democracy, he has adhered to rule of law so far. What is dictatorship about what he has done? He has helped to stimulate the economy in the various states and that is where the people are. So what is dictatorship? And the institutional paralysis had occurred in the country.

“It is very important for a steady man like the President to really help the nation recover from the paralysis and that is what he is doing so I don’t see what is dictatorial about that. If they don’t have anything to say, they rather be quiet. They created what is wrong here today and we can’t sweep that under then carpet. There must be rule of law.”
