The National President, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Abdullahi Bodejo, has said that the contribution of National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari was exaggerated.
He disclosed this in an explosive interview published by Saturday Sun.
According to Bodejo, Tinubu was one of many persons that came together to ensure Buhari’s victory in 2015 but had much less influence in the 2019 presidential polls.
He said that insinuations that Tinubu wpuld replace Buhari after his second term were therefore not justified.
The Miyetti Allah leader further noted that calls that power should shift to the Southern part of Nigeria in 2023 were misplaced.
Bodejo said:
I have told you that 2015 is now history. Even me talking to you now, do you know the role I played in 2015? People played all manner of politics in 2015 and Tinubu was not the only person. What I know is that Tinubu cannot be the president of Nigeria. That is the truth.He is very old and maybe older than President Buhari. Some people see Tinubu like one big masquerade but he is not. Some think that he is the Yoruba leader but he is not. He is also like Obasanjo; some people see the former president as a small god but he is not. In my last interview before the election, I said it that Obasanjo has only one vote like any other person. What happened? Did it not turn out like that? Everybody’s eyes are already open now. If Tinubu is recognized by the Yoruba people as their leader, why did Buhari score 50 per cent there? Why did he not ask them to give him like even 60 per cent at least? Tinubu has failed and that is the truth. Or are you telling me that Tinubu did anti-party activities by telling the South West to share the votes 50/50 to APC and PDP?
