The national leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, has described as unacceptable a statement made by the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, about President Muhammadu Buhari.
Noting that the apology offered by Tinubu was not enough, the party said it may punish the presidential aspirant for the remark.
National Chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, disclosed this, yesterday, in Abuja.
Adamu said: “He went as far as saying how Gen. Muhammadu Buhari went to him, citing instances of even prostrating in tears begging him to endorse him and to support him for the presidency. He claimed Buhari went to him.
“His utterances are very insulting. It is unbecoming for a person of that standing to do what he did to the sitting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the President produced by the votes of the APC. Though he is the President, he belongs to everybody.
“It is amazing how a fellow APC person would make that kind of comment in that kind of circumstances about the President. We take exception to this. It has shown that he does not show any appreciable level of respect for the office of Mr. President.
“Therefore, we want to make it public that we are saddened by what we saw in the video, in that reportage and we condemn it in the strongest of terms. We do hope that he would never say that kind again.
“Yes, yesterday we saw some parts of a retraction but that effort is not adequate. It is not sincere. It is not in-depth enough. It doesn’t wipe off the impression the event has left in our minds.”
Details shortly....
