President Muhammadu Buhari met with the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu on Friday, 10 February, 2023, to strategise on how Asiwaju will excel at the 2023 presidential election slated for this month.
A source at the Presidential Villa, said Buhari met with Tinubu at his official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on the night of Friday, 10 February, 2023.
Tinubu confirmed the meeting with Buhari during the ‘Meet the mentor’ dinner held in his honour by the APC Progressives Sisters Network at the International Conference Centre in Abuja.
Speaking at the meeting, Tinubu confirmed that he had an important meeting with the President at 9.45 pm.
“I have a superior appointment. Late yesterday, the President called that I should be at his place by 9.45 pm this evening (Friday).
“What do I do? Cancel it and disobey my president? And it is a command, more or less. (He said) see me at 9.45pm.”
Lately, there has been speculation of a crisis between Buhari and Tinubu. This was fuelled by Tinubu’s claims that some powers that be in Buhari’s government are trying to sabotage his chances of winning the presidential election.
Amid the claim, Buhari had declared Tinubu his Presidential Candidate, while urging Nigerians to vote for him at this month poll.
Also, Tinubu has drummed it to the ears of who cared to listen he is will win the poll with Buhari’s support and millions of Nigerians.
