Following recent political upturn in APC camp, Tinubu has
said that he had never made a public statement about the National Assembly
since Saraki and Yakubu Dogara emerged as Senate President and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives respectively.
The former governor of Lagos State said he could never
insult the President or castigate a government that he helped to form.
The statement read, “The story first published on an online
news site and later parroted by other online news outlet is an example of
irresponsible journalism. This story has no source. It is a blatant fabrication
to serve the interest of its sponsors. Tinubu has not spoken about the Senate
election. This story is a perverse fiction. Not journalism.
“He has never said these lies so wrongly attributed to him.
There is no chance he will ever utter such words against President Buhari, a
man he worked very hard for to become President, along with millions of
Nigerians who voted. Tinubu would not accuse the President of plotting his own
injury. If anything, he is alarmed by how this may impair the government’s
substantive reform agenda.
“It is a mischievous attempt to drive a wedge between Tinubu
and Buhari. There is no need to try to put words in Tinubu’s mouth. He will
talk when and if it is necessary. His major preoccupation now is how Nigerians
can support President Buhari and his administration to achieve the reform and
change promised during the election.”
