More Suspense Over Tinubu’s Abeokuta Speech As Igbo Version Emerges
The controversial speech by All Progressives Congress, APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Abeokuta last Thursday is continuing to make news across the country.
Tinubu at that occasion was declared to have proclaimed that he made Muhammadu Buhari president, Yemi Osinbajo vice president and Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun State.
The video of the Abeokuta speech was quickly circulated leading to insinuations that it may lead to a brush off between Buhari and Tinubu. Meanwhile Buhari has not spoken on the speech and insinuations that a meeting between top government officials and Tinubu scheduled for last Thursday was called off with the presidency officials reportedly seething that Tinubu could go and do his worse.
Meanwhile, Bayo Onanuga, director of media in the Tinubu Campaign Organisation has come out to decry what he said was the twist of the speech by some sections of the media.
In a statement that was alleged to be directed as minimizing the damage, Onanuga affirmed that Tinubu respects Buhari contrary to the reportage of the Abeokuta speech by some sections of the media.
However, that has not quietened the issue as an Igbo transliteration of the speech which was rendered in Yoruba has now emerged courtesy of the BBC.
