TOP STORY: ‘Yakasai needs help’ — presidency dismisses claim Buhari not committed to Tinubu campaign | TheCable
January 26, 2023 8:30 AMis not showing the necessary support for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress .
The presidency’s reaction was contained in a statement on Wednesday by Garba Shehu, presidential spokesperson. Yakasai is a co-founder of the Grand Patron of the Grassroots Movement for Asiwaju Tinubu and Shettima ., Yakasai had alleged that Buhari is not loyal to Tinubu’s campaign to become the country’s next president.“Is he [Buhari] committed to Tinubu for the presidency? I have my doubts. I don’t know. But I have not seen the commitment from him of supporting the candidacy of Tinubu in APC. I’m not sure if he’s APC or not.
“But Yakasai’s questioning of the loyalties of President Muhammadu Buhari stands in sharp contrast to the actions of the President. Only on Monday, he was out at a rally in Bauchi supporting the flag bearer of the party. Presidential duties permitting, he is scheduled to make further appearances at campaign events in the coming weeks.“If this wasn’t on TV, Yakasai’s unwise comment on the issue would have been dismissed as a misquotation. But he was live on TV.
“On this one against President Buhari, no one should take him seriously. Perhaps times are hard and the old man needs a bit of help.”
