The Negativity Around Tinubu Sponsored By APC Chieftains — Shehu Sani

EKO HOT BLOG reports that former Senator, Shehu Sani, has accused chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of being responsible for all the negative things said about the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, by the opposition.

Sani made the claim on Twitter on Tuesday, adding that whatever was being said by the opposition after the February 25 presidential election was first dug out by the APC chieftains in an attempt to stop Tinubu from winning the primaries.

Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District in the 8th Senate, alleged that APC chieftains brought up everything during the party’s primaries to stop Tinubu from winning, and that they were now responsible for any bad thing said about the president-elect.

He wrote: “Any negative things said about the President-elect were first happily dug out and toxically spread by the elites & Chieftains of his party, in their attempts to stop him from winning the primaries. Whatever the opposition are saying today came from the tongue of the ruling party.”

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the APC, has been rumoured to be eyeing the presidency in 2023. However, he has not officially declared his intention to run. The opposition has been critical of him, with some alleging that he is corrupt and unfit for the position of president.

The APC has been embroiled in internal conflicts, with some members calling for the removal of the national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.
