Tinubu owes Buhari nothing – Sule Lamido

Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has described President Bola Tinubu as a very daring and self-made man, who owes his emergence to nobody, including his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

He said, “Prior to the convention, he (Tinubu) was in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he boasted that it was his turn to rule Nigeria. And Buhari, very naive, was watching. He never liked Tinubu. There was somebody he wanted.

He didn’t even trust his own vice president, Professor (Yemi) Osinbajo; he wanted Ahmed Lawan, but his calculation was absurd. You have done 8 years for the North and you wanted another Northerner for another 8 years?! No. Maybe later but there are some dynamics which you can’t alter, not in Nigeria of today.

The president of Nigeria, after being in office for 8 years, lacked the courage to push through his anointed choice. He was there at the convention and Tinubu that he never liked, he never believed in emerged. Tinubu knows that his victory wasn’t from Buhari, therefore, he owes him nothing.
