Presidency To Tinubu: ‘No One Can Or Should Claim To Have Made Buhari President’

The Presidency on Monday in Abuja said that no one can or should claim to have single-handedly engineered the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as President in the 2015 general election.

According to a statement signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the Presidency said the past should not decide the next general election and what matters today is to elect a candidate that would “make our country better than it has ever been.”

The statement is titled ‘Comment on the statement made by a leading APC flag bearer candidate.’

Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, had raised some dust last Thursday when he claimed that without him, Buhari would not have emerged the president in 2015.

The Presidential aspirant made the claim at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, when he was addressing the APC delegates ahead of the party’s primary elections.
