Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has debunked reports that he
has fallen apart with President Muhammadu Buhari because he could not get
what he demanded from the party.
Tinubu denied the reports in an interview with State House correspondents
shortly after joining some All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders for the
breaking of Ramadan fast with the President.
The former governor also broke his silence on the leadership crisis in the
National Assembly, saying he backed the position of the party and the
President on the matter.
While saying the party was supreme, Tinubu said that leadership and
followers must be disciplined.
He said that the party understood what Nigerians wanted because the
mandate given the APC was because of its manifesto.
The leader of the APC also threw away the remarks from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) that the Buhari administration is too slow, saying
the government cannot clean the 16-years mess of the PDP in 30
days.
Tinubu described the APC as the armoured personnel carrier, saying it
represented the diversity of Nigeria.
He thanked President Buhari for the opportunity of breaking fast with him
and bringing together people from various backgrounds regardless of
religious affiliations.
