Tinubu was betrayed by his Yoruba lieutenants, not Buhari – Adamu Garba
Former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Adamu Garba has on Friday reacted to the controversy that trailed former Governor of Lagos state, Bola Tinubu’s “outburst” while addressing delegates of the party in Ogun state.
Tinubu in his speech had insisted that it is his turn to become President, while also bragging about making Muhammadu Buhari President and Dapo Abiodun, Governor of Ogun state.
Tinubu had during a visit to APC delegates in Abeokuta explained his role in the governor’s victory during the 2019 election.
He claimed that APC stakeholders had rejected the Ogun governor but his intervention changed the game.
“Dapo that’s sitting down here, could he have become Governor without me?” he said during the event on Thursday.
“We were at the stadium; they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him. I was the one who brought it. If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that without God and me, he would not have become Governor.”
In his reactions to the widespread specualtion that the APC National leader had been let down, Adamu argued, that Tinubu has been betrayed, not by Buhari, but his (Tinubu) lieutenants like Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, Ministers, Governors from the Southwest and many others.
He tweeted;
Quite alright Tinubu is betrayed, not by Buhari but by his lieutenants like Osibanjo, Ministers, Governors from the Southwest, etc. Look at his surroundings, you’ll find Kashim, Abu Ibrahim, Ganduje, Kashim-Imam, Aminu Suleman etc. Where are his beneficiaries? I hate betrayal!
