Abdullahi Adamu, the National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has revealed the ruling party would axe the national leader of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his recent utterances against President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC chairman disclosed this while addressing journalists on Saturday in Abuja ahead of the party’s convention slated for Tuesday.
He noted that Tinubu’s apology wasn’t enough because his outburst was an insult to the president.
It could be recalled that Tinubu had while addressing delegates in Ogun state said Buhari wouldn’t have become president in 2015.
“If not for me that stood behind Buhari, he wouldn’t have become the president. He tried the first time, he failed, the second time, he failed, the third the, he failed, he even wept on national television and vowed never to contest again.
“But, I went to meet him in Kaduna and told him he will run again, I will stand by you and you will win, but you must not joke with Yorubas and he agreed.
“Since he became the president, I have never got ministerial slots, I didn’t collect any contract, I have never begged for anything from him, it is the turn of Yoruba, it is my turn,” Tinubu had said.
Reacting, Adamu said Tinubu’s outburst was uncalled for and he must pay for it.
