The\u00a0 All Progressives Congress (APC) has been told\u00a0 to be wary of some members of the party plotting to undermine national leader and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n
A northern group, Patriotic Northern Coalition for Justice, Peace and Equity made this call in a statement.<\/p>\n
The national coordinator of the coalition, Alhaji Babangida Sule Jnr stated that Tinubu remained the bedrock of APC and that any plot against his interest would be counter-productive.<\/p>\n
The group wondered why the North, which should be grateful to Tinubu for the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the polls, was trying to sideline him in the scheme of things.<\/p>\n
Sule said: \u201cPoliticians are already strategising for 2019 and they will stop at nothing to achieve their aim. Some of them are in APC and we have uncovered that part of their aims is to undermine the party\u2019s chieftain, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, because they see him as a stumbling block.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we the Patriotic Northern Coalition won\u2019t allow them because we are still grateful to Tinubu for what he has done for the North in the 2015 general elections, particularly his efforts in the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that many people played crucial roles in the emergence of Buhari, but Tinubu tops them all.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally, I know of the many times he came to Kaduna to meet with Buhari and assured him that he would do all he could to support him and ensure his victory.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know all these things because I was part of the groups that met with him on several occasions, including some APC governors. Again, in order to ensure Buhari\u2019s victory at the primaries, he used his influence to move the convention from Abuja to Lagos.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know what happened after that and at the final election. So, we won\u2019t allow anybody or group of persons to plan anything against his interest in APC. Besides, such plot will be counter-productive because Tinubu is an influential APC chieftain that commands respect in his region and some other regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
