Mallam Ya’u Darazo, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Special Duties, has urged Nigerians, especially members of the All Progressives Congress(APC), to ignore the malicious attempt by opponents of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to misrepresent what he told party leaders and delegates in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday.
Mallam Ya’u Darazo, Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Special Duties, has urged Nigerians, especially members of the All Progressives Congress(APC), to ignore the malicious attempt by opponents of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to misrepresent what he told party leaders and delegates in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday.
Darazo, in a statement he signed in his personal capacity as supporter of the presidential ambition of Tinubu, noted the distortion of what the frontline presidential aspirant said was a dubious attempt to cause discord between him and President Buhari.
The Senior Presidential aide stated he was speaking for himself as a member of the team working for Tinubu’s campaign.
“Let me start with a disclaimer. I am issuing this statement in my personal capacity. This is very important before mischief makers start attributing it to some other persons.
“For the avoidance of doubts, I am a supporter of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I, therefore, belong to the Team assiduously working for Asiwaju’s 2023 Presidential Project. On his mandate I stand!!”
While addressing party delegates and supporters in Abeokuta, Tinubu recalled his contribution to the formation of APC and how his support made it possible for Buhari to be elected President in 2015 having lost in 3 previous attempts in 2003, 2007 and 2011.
Tinubu’s address which was made in Yoruba was taken out of context by opponents and mischief makers to damage his standing with the President.
Darazo noted Buhari can see through the mischief having being a victim of misrepresentation himself in the past, stating no ill-motivated plot can destroy the relationship between Buhari and Tinubu. Continue Reading
