There have been reports that a national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will leave the party in the nearest future.
However, a chieftain of the party, Mallam Mohammed Lawal, says Tinubu will only leave the party if President Muhammadu Buhari quits the ruling party.
According to The Punch, Lawal, who was the Deputy Director, Coordination and Implementation of the APC Presidential Campaign Office in 2015, said this during an interview on Monday.
He said, “Tinubu is not complaining and he has benefitted from this government. People are complaining on behalf of Tinubu in order to drive a wedge between him and the President.
“Tinubu has said he has no plan to form any mega party and even the Chairman of the PDP’s Board of Trustees has said he hasn’t spoken to Tinubu in over three years but people just don’t want to accept the truth. For God’s sake, people should leave the man alone.
“Tinubu is going nowhere. He and Buhari are like Siamese twins and no one can separate them politically. Tinubu will only leave the APC if the President leaves the APC.”
