Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has denied claims that there was a rift between him and President Buhari and some leaders of the party which has forced him to distance himself from some of the party’s activities. His absence at the Ondo state governorship campaign which was attended by President Buhari, gave credence to the rumour that all is not well between him, the presidency and some members of the party.

However in a swift reaction, Tinubu who spoke at a function in Lagos state yesterday, denied the claims, saying he belongs to the party which he worked tirelessly to form.

“Its all fallacy, I still stand with President Mohammadu Buhari. There is no cause for alarm. I don’t need to be living in Aso Rock before you know am in government. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is there. Abike Dabiri is there. Tunde Fashola is there. Lai Muhammed, Kayode Fayemi, Tunde Fowler and many others are all there. The President and I still discuss about national issues from time to time.
Tinubu asked people to disregard what they read in the media, attributing it to the handwork of the mischief makers.
“Yes, we may have had our own disagreement, which is the beauty of democracy, We are not forming any party neither are we going anywhere,
We built and nurtured APC to its present state and together we will make it work”, he said
