The National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said there is no disagreement between he and President Muhammadu Buhari.
He also denied claims that his overbearing demands on the President and the party was causing rifts between he and Buhari, especially in light of the leadership crisis at the National Assembly. He also said he had made no demands on the party.
Tinubu spoke with State House Correspondents shortly after breaking fast with President Muhammadu Buhari at new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, July 14, 2015. Present at the meeting was also former Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
He said that he believes in the same values as Buhari and that is a demonstration of leadership.
“I believe in what President believes, I respect him and I stand firmly loyal to his cause so you might go to any length of speculations that you want, I have not responded to any of that, I understand the President and the president understands me clearly”
“I have no demand on the party, if you understand what party politics is all about, what leadership is all about, it is about loyalty and commitment to the values that leadership believes in”
“I am backing what the President has carefully enumerated and articulated to the party, the party is supreme, the party must have disciplined leadership and followers, the party’s process must be respected because that is the confidence and the trust of the people”
“In every political environment, you expect conflict, that is politics and conflict resolution mechanism will be applied to resolve all problems, there is honour in every struggle, in every competition, there must be honour in victory too”, Tinubu said.
