Prince Onu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says enemies of the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, within the party, were working against him.
The APC Senatorial candidate for Ebonyi South in 2019 raised the alarm in a statement on Wednesday.
As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, Onu said those against the former Lagos Governor were behind rumours of his alleged rift with President Muhammadu Buhari.
He noted that Tinubu and Buhari were allies, recalling their formation of the ruling party ahead of the 2015 elections.
Onu said the politician had kept to his principles and built bridges across Nigerian regions and states.
“This trait of Tinubu is intimidating and that is why the purveyors of this crack between both leaders have emerged.
“The truth of the matter is that the claims are false and handiwork of opposition within the APC.”
Onu stressed that Tinubu was qualified to run for president in 2023 and advised him “not to be distracted by the antics of enemies”.
Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, has been widely tipped to replace President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 despite the fact that he is yet to flag off an official campaign ahead of the polls.
Having served as a Senator, a Governor and presently the National leader of the ruling party, there is no denying Asiwaju’s political sagacity and leadership acumen acquired over the course of a long and distinguished political career; most of which has been characterized by attempts from political enemies to blight his political ambitions.
As evidenced by recent and past events, Asiwaju has always come out unscathed despite countless attempts to truncate his political ambitions; and, with the numerous calls by different groups and influential figures for the political avatar to throw his hat in the ring ahead of the 2023 Presidential polls, there is sufficient evidence to support the fact that Jagaban is not lacking in political allies and the needed political tact to once again pull another rabbit out of his hat.
