'We are concerned that political vulturism masquerading as 'smart analysis' is selling the commentary that this is a Buhari-Tinubu 'showdown'. Nothing can be farther from the truth.'
The Presidency has described recent interpretations following the dissolution of the National Working Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress , as misleading.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said contrary to the impression some media analysts had given to the new twists in the APC and the relationship between the President and Asiwaju Tinubu, the intent of the move and the state of the connects between the two leaders were still very much intact.Speaking about the state of affairs between President Buhari and Asiwaju Tinubu, the statement said: “They are in touch with one another.
“The very essence of the requests put to the Emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress by President Muhammadu Buhari, which were unanimously approved aim to pull back the party, faced with an existential crisis from the brink of collapse, follow the constitution and take everyone along.
“To put the records straight: In the formation of this great party and giving it leadership, President Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who are reckoned as the founding fathers of the APC are both inspired by democratic norms, national interest and not at all by partisan motivations. These are the qualities that have made them move past cynical distractions.
