Adams Oshiomhole, former National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, has said the party’s presidential candidate, Bola
Tinubu, never participated in President Muhammadu Buhari’s government.
To this end, Oshiomhole said Tinubu should not be blamed for
any infraction by the Buhari-led Federal Government.
He disclosed this during an interview with Arise TV on
Wednesday.
The former APC National Chairman said Nigerians should stop
blaming Tinubu for issues with Buhari’s government.
Oshiomhole stressed that the former Lagos State Governor has
never held any position in Buhari’s government.
According to the former Edo State governor, Tinubu never
took contracts from Buhari’s government.
He said: “I think in appropriating or apportioning blame or
crediting people, you will look at their role.
“It is a fact that Tinubu himself co-founded the APC. But he
never participated in governance.
“He never held any position in government. He didn’t carry
out any contract on behalf of the government. So how can you credit him either
way?
“You cannot say someone who never in any way participated in
government be credited with the outcome of government policy or be blamed for
same.”
There are widespread beliefs that Tinubu played a major role
in ensuring that Buhari became Nigeria’s president in 2015.
But, some APC chieftains have dismissed such claims,
stressing that Buhari’s emergence as president was a collective effort of APC
and Nigerians.
They insisted that Tinubu alone didn’t ensure Buhari’s
victory in 2015.
