A former Lagos State Governor and the national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu declined to comment on the reported second term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari
Tinubu said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after meeting behind closed doors with the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
When asked whether he agree with different groups and individuals calling on Buhari to seek re-election in 2019, Tinubu simply responded, “Don’t discuss that one with me.
He however said he has confidence in the president adding that he labored hard to enthrone the Buhari presidency.
It will be recalled that the close associate of Tinubu and interim chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande hinted that the party presidential ticket was open for interested aspirants, tactically ruling out automatic second term ticket for the president.
In swift response to Akande’s comment, the APC national leadership said Akande expressed a personal opinion.
