Former National Security Adviser,
NSA, to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) has disclosed
how he knelt before ex-governors of Osun and Lagos State, Bisi Akande and Bola
Tinubu, to accept President Muhammadu Buhari as the joint Presidential
candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, and the Congress for
Progressive Change, CPC, in 2011.
Dasuki’s campaign for Buhari in
2011 was contained in the new book, ‘An Encounter with the Spymaster’, written
by a Public Relations professional, Yushau Shuaib.
In the book, Shuaib said: “The
major shocker for me in his (Dasuki) narratives was his campaign for Buhari to
emerge the joint candidate for the ACN and CPC in 2011.”
“Dasuki stated that he knelt down begging
‘Baba Bisi Akande’ who was the then chairman of the ACN that, ‘Buhari is a man
to be trusted’.
“In their believe that Yorubas
and South Westerners are never religious fanatics especially regarding
politics, Dasuki and his group suggested that Tinubu should be a running mate
to Buhari.
“When other elements opposed that
preposition, Tinubu’s team, therefore recommended a Buhari-Osinbajo ticket.”
Shuaib said the Buhari-Osinbajo
ticket then failed to stick as Tunde Bakare was eventually brought forward.
