Without Tinubu’s Support Buhari Wouldn’t Have Become President – Sunday Dare

Published

on

The Special Adviser to the President Bola Tinubu on Public Communications and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has said that former President Muhammadu Buhari would not have emerged President without the role Tinubu played in the 2015 general elections.

Recall that before becoming President in 2015, Buhari ran unsuccessfully for presidency in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections respectively.

Political merger between Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, headed by Buhari and Tinubu respectively and some other parties gave birth to the All Progressives Congress, APC, which later won the 2015 presidential election.

Dare stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today, stressing Buhari wouldn’t have won the election without Tinubu’s support.

“If you look at the role Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu played in the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari and I can say clearly that without Tinubu’s role in forming the party, making the platform to be there, President Buhari would not have emerged,” he said.

The former Sports Minister said he sold the idea of fielding Buhari as the then-APC presidential candidate.

“It couldn’t have been only me, it was a team. The electoral victories we won in 2015 and the one in 2019 had the writing of President Tinubu. We are a party and beyond me, several other people were also invited,” he stated.
