There Is Absolute Peace Between Buhari & Tinubu- Presidency

The Presidency has rubbished claims that there is a
misunderstanding between Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari and a national
leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over the
leadership crisis in the National Assembly.

Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President
on Media, told newsmen in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital that the challenge before
the APC goes beyond the leadership tussle in the National Assembly.

“There is absolutely nothing like that, the President
maintains excellent relationship with his friends and who are these people?
They include Baba Bisi Akande, one of the most respected individuals that you
see around the President; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu who, a week or so ago, was in Aso
Rock and had a hilarious discussion with the President. Just two days ago, they
were inquiring about former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to attend the Ramadan
breakfast. The President keeps his friends.

“Sometimes, the things we read in the press amuse us
because, as far as the personal relationships are concerned, nothing has dented
the political family that the President keeps. All these persons I have
mentioned realise they have a political party to build and they have work to
do. They have obtained the mandate and they know they need to fulfill certain
obligations to Nigerians. The expectations are high. So, they are not mistaken
about the assignment,” Shehu said.
