Buhari supporters shocked by Bola’s speech – Former SGF,Babachir Lawal Bombs Tinubu

Former Secretary General to the Federation, Babachir Lawal has criticized APC 2023 presidential aspirant, Bola Ahmed Tinubu for saying that he made President Muhammadu Buhari become the country’s leader in 2015.

Tinubu on Thursday in Abeokuta, while addressing APC delegates said that he brought Buhari out of political retirement and made him ‘President’.

He said; “If not me that led the war front, Buhari would not have emerged. He contested first, second and third times, but lost. He even said on television that he would not contest again.

“But I went to his home in Katsina, I told him you would contest and win, but ‘you would not joke with Yoruba matters.”

Reacting to the statement during an interview, Lawal said that such talk was ‘B*llshit’.

“Now all these comments about Bola’s Yoruba presidency and his support of Buhari without which Buhari would not have been president is bulshit. He wasn’t the only one whose support made a difference. There were many others from all around the country and they are not bragging about it.”

“You may wish to know that all of us Buhari supporters are shocked and pissed off by Bola’s speech on this occasion. It is unlike him.”

“And this speech is massively trending in the North and being given a negative connotation as you can well imagine. I first read it this morning on an Adamawa group platform and the anger is palpable and all round.”
