Tinubu’s outburst insulting, unbecoming of the APC leader –Adamu

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress has thrown its weight behind the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), following the scathing remarks of a presidential aspirant and the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu had while speaking to the party’s delegates in Ogun State on Thursday claimed that without him, Buhari would not have become president in 2015.

He also narrated the circumstances that led to the emergence of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as the vice president, saying Buhari had offered him the running mate ticket, but some party chieftains opposed it.

Reacting to Tinubu’s comments, Adamu stated that the former Lagos governor’s outburst was unbecoming of a leader of his stature, adding that the party found his latest attack on the president insulting.

“We are saddened by what we saw in the video and pray we don’t see such again. I, as Chairman of this party, have a duty to stand by Mr President.

“There was no remorse. What we saw wasn’t an apology. It was just like saying you don’t mean it that way but you just said it,” he stated.

Asked if the APC would punish the national leader, Adamu said a decision had not been taken.

“If there is a need to punish any member of a party, not just Tinubu, we will bring it to the party’s book. But we are watching,” he said
