The plan to install President Bola Tinubu as president was conceived and initiated in Abeokuta, Ogun State, according to Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, or APC.
“Knowing the relationship between Asiwaju PBAT and PMB, there is no way PMB would have abandoned PBAT for someone else,” Igbokwe said on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
He said:
“PBAT put everything down both human and material resources, to practically create a way for PMB to emerge as president of Nigeria in 2015.
“The plan for PMB to be president was hatched and kickstarted in Abeokuta with a chieftaincy title.”
His statements follow Babafemi Ojudu, Buhari’s former Special Adviser on Political Matters, who said that Tinubu had outsmarted Buhari in 2022.
According to Igbokwe, Buhari never backed Tinubu or his then-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries.
He emphasized that Tinubu chose the party’s ticket and ultimately won the presidency by outwitting Buhari in several ways.
