Senate President Bukola Saraki
and John Oyegun, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), are
not at the 10th Bola Tinubu colloquium holding at the Eko Convention Centre in
Lagos.
Neither Saraki nor Oyegun issued
statements to commemorate with Tinubu on the occasion of his 66th birthday but
Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of the representatives, who is also absent,
released a congratulatory message on Wednesday.
There are reports that Tinubu was
among those who convinced President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw his support
for the elongation of the tenure of the ruling party’s national working
committee.
After the president’s action,
Tinubu issued a statement where he lauded Buhari for “saving the party from
serious legal turmoil”.
Oyegun and Tinubu fell out after
the primary election in Ondo state.
Saraki’s decision to defy the
leadership of the party in emerging as the nation’s number three citizen is
believed to have irked Tinubu.
However, many senators,
governors, ministers, presidential aides and captains of industry are at the
programme.
