A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the statement credited to Senator Alli Ndume on why Tinubu should be fearful of Buhari ahead of 2027 polls.
Ndume had said during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today that Tinubu should be worried if former President Muhammadu Buhari is against his re-election in 2027.
But in a swift reaction, a chieftain of the APC, dismissed Ndume’s statement saying, ”Tinubu is not a politician who operates out of fear, unlike those who seek political sympathy through such means.
Ndume articulated that, although Buhari possesses only one vote, he continues to be a prominent and respected figure in Northern Nigeria.
A source from the presidency said contrary to reservations expressed by Ndume , Tinubu is not afraid of anybody.
Senator Ndume’s remarks followed a visit by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and several key opposition figures to Buhari’s residence in Kaduna on Friday.
“Those boys running around Buhari have not political values again in this country and most of them are retired personalities. I can tell you authoritatively that those boys you see around Buhari and the Buhari himself cannot stop Tinubu for reelection in 2027.”
“Who’s Buhari that Tinubu will be afraid of? Have you forgotten this same Buhari was made President by Tinubu. Without Tinubu, history would have forgotten him. He cried to Tinubu for help and we all know the impact of Tinubu singlehandedly. Tinubu does not need Buhari for 2027 because he never supported him as incumbent. Those boys you see around Buhari kneeling down would soon understand why Buhari can’t help them to stop Tinubu.”
