Former Vice President and presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar, has denied the report that a former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, is lobbying for another aspirant and former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
He said Tinubu would not make such moves, as the ex-Lagos State governor remained an elder statesman that would not be involved in favouritism.
A national newspaper (not PUNCH) had reported on Wednesday that Tinubu, who is allegedly backing Buhari’s candidacy, might be picked as the General’s running mate.
Atiku’s media adviser, Mr. Garba Shehu, who spoke to our correspondent on Friday, said it was expected that the leadership of the APC would be divided by the contest between the ex-vice president and Buhari.
