APC leader tinubu says he's still friends with buhari

National Leader » of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu has denied reports of a
conflict between himself and President
Muhammadu Buhari.

Tinubu spoke in reaction to a rumour that he
publicly condemned Buhari’s policies and his
performance, Punch reports.
“They were angry that some people would
just manipulate and fabricate stories and go
ahead to publish lies and absolute nonsense.
All I could do was to calm them down,”
Tinubu’s aide, Sunday Dare , said via a
statement.
“In the social media age, any knucklehead
can publish or turn fact on its head. But we
know this recent one is again coming from
the stable of people who have sworn to
destroy the relationship between President
Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu. Already, they
have failed.
“The fact is this: Sam Omatseye, who is the
chairman, editorial board of The Nation, is a
journalist of repute and a powerful and
independent mind, who needs no prodding
before he writes.
“He has been running a weekly Monday
column since the paper’s inception and
cannot and does not speak for Asiwaju
Tinubu. His Monday 30th May column, titled
‘When the bell rings twice’ is entirely an
analysis by him, penned and signed by him,”
he added.
