Full statement of presidency’s reply to Tinubu over outburst against Buhari

IDOMA VOICE has obtained the full statement by the presidency in reply to the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu had during an event in Ogun claimed that he single-handedly made Buhari president in 2015 after he failed thrice.

Gabra Shehu in a statement on Monday said Tnubu goofed over his claims.

Read the statements below.

The person most demonstrable in those qualities is the one to lead our party and our country forward.

What matters is the future: the policy platforms, the ideas, the drive, and the determination to take over the President’s stewardship of our country and build upon his legacy to make our country better than it has ever been.
Those decisions may have been agreed upon by a few.

But they were delivered by thousands and voted for by tens of millions. No one can or should claim to have made this possible.

Yet as important as that moment was, it is not what should decide the next general election.

There are those who advised the President to run again; those who decided to build a political party – the APC – that could finally be the political vehicle capable of delivering victory where all other opposition parties and alliances before it had failed.

There are many people who played parts large and small in his historic election in 2015, making history as the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president with power changing hands peacefully at the ballot box.
It is perhaps not surprising that on the eve of the All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer primary there are those running as candidates who wish to associate themselves with the President’s rise to elected office seven years ago.
