Tinubu Speaks On Backing Buhari vs Osinbajo ‘Rift’ Over 2023 Presidency

Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and a former governor of Lagos State, has denied speculation that he was working against Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria’s Vice President over the 2023 Presidency.

YaahooJournalist reports that Tinubu denied this allegation while reacting to the latest actions taken by President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly targeted at the Vice President.

Reacting to the allegation in a terse statement, Tinubu’s spokesman, Tunde Rahman, debunked the rift between his principal and Osinbajo.

“There is no truth in the allegation that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is against the Vice President. There is nothing stopping the Vice President from nursing a presidential ambition. If he wants to run, let him run.

“We are all watching and waiting. It is all a bundle of lies that Asiwaju Tinubu is unhappy about that. People are just politicising the situation. Tinubu cannot muscle his own boy in any way”, he said.
