Tinubu has thrown a shade at Buhari over the forthcoming 2023 Election.

This online news platform understands that Tinubu who made this comment at an event in Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, stressed that the 2023 election is for the Yorubas, hence it’s his tenure to rule Nigeria.

Speaking further, Tinubu expressed sadness that he was not offered a contract or a ministerial position by President Buhari despite helping him to assume the position of Nigeria President.

Speaking in Ogun State, Tinubu said, “If not me that led the war from the front, Buhari would not have emerged as the president. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he won’t contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina, I told him you would contest and win, but you won’t joke with the matters of the Yorubas.

“Since he has emerged, I have not been appointed Minister. I didn’t get a contract.

“This time, it’s Yoruba’s turn and in Yoruba land, it’s my tenure.”
