Tinubu denies rift with President Buhari

Unknown | Wednesday, July 15, 2015 |
Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday said it is not true that he has fallen apart with President Muhammadu Buhari because he could not get what he has demanded from the party claiming that he's still loyal to the President.

He stated this during an interview with State House correspondents shortly after joining some APC chiefs for the breaking of Ramadan fast with the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“I have no demand on the party. If you understand what party politics and leadership are all about, they are about loyalty and commitment to the values that leadership believes in.

“I believe in what the President believes in. I respect him and I stand firmly loyal to his course.

Tinubu 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.

Tinubu said leadership and followers must be disciplined.

The leadership crisis in the National Assembly is an area where I am very cautious of my position and utterances. I still want to keep my side of interpretation or analysis to me to be able to achieve a resolution of the matter as quickly as possible.

“However, in every political environment, you expect conflict. That is politics. Convict resolution mechanism will be applied to resolve all the problems.

“There is honour in every struggle. In every competition or struggle, there must be honour in victory too.”

Tinubu added that the APC government would not repeat the mistakes made by the Peoples Democratic Party.

Tinubu had earlier, during the breaking of fast, said those who were accusing Buhari of being slow, should know that the party did not campaign to be firefighters but to be meticulous planners.

He said the mess left behind by the PDP government could not be cleaned immediately, the same way a dirty latrine or 16 years could not be cleaned up in 30 days.
