Tinubu: No rivalry with Atiku over APC BoT chair

Jamiu Yisa/Political correspondent

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has cleared the air on the alleged report that himself, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, were struggling to emerge the chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT).

Tinubu while speaking shortly after his visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at Aso Rock, said no such rivalry exists between the trio.

He said that the APC is focused on supporting President Buhari to achieve his goal of transforming the nation.

“Don’t listen to rumors, there is no struggle. Our party is not even looking at the direction of power struggle or anything of such.

“The support structure is to encourage and support the President as you have heard from Chief Bisi Akande, to help him institutionalize his goal, principle and vision for a new Nigeria,” he said.
