How Buhari’s Administration Deliberately Placed Obstacles On My Way To Becoming President –Tinubu
Nigeria’s president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has openly accused the president Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of deliberately trying to frustrate his presidential ambition.
President Tinubu made the remark on Friday, 19th of December during the All Progressive Congress National Executive Committee Meeting in the state house, Abuja.
President Tinubu recalled how the immediate past administration initiated some questionable policies at the tail end of the administration with aim of frustrating his presidential bid. He said the currency redesign policy, petrol scarcity resulting in long queues at filling stations, economic hardship that made people die due to hunger were deliberately and maliciously unleashed on Nigerians at that point to create deep hate and dissatisfaction in the APC which would predictably result in his electoral loss.
Presidential Tinubu compared the questionable policies by the Buhari’s administration to “a wild bush fire” stating that the governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni and governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani who nodded in affirmation, were aware of such conspiracy against him.
President Tinubu thereafter pointed out that amid these obstacles, he was able to realize his presidential ambition.
“Governor Buni and Governor Uba Sani knew the obstacles on my way to becoming president. There was a wild bush fire. The currency redesigning and the queues at the filling stations. Recall that people died because they were not able to have one meal a day due to cash scarcity, just for one election”, he stated.
President Tinubu’s recent remark against the Buhari’s administration comes in the face of series of revelations by the wife of late president Muhammadu Buhari and his children in a Buhari’s new biography: Muhammadu Buhari: From Soldier To Statesman in which the family alleged that a strong cabal hijacked the Buhari’s administration, manipulated the president including turning him against his family.
The revelation from the president Muhammadu Buhari’s family in the biography elicited varying reactions from Nigerians especially as the media had speculated a powerful cabal running the Buhari’s administration at the expense of president Buhari.
