Tinubu To Discuss Strategy With APC NWC, Despite Past Bad Blood With Adamu

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will meet with the Senator Abdullahi Adamu led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on Wednesday in Abuja, an official has said.

The strategy meeting is coming despite the history of bad blood between the APC presidential candidate and the national chairman who in early June vowed to sanction Tinubu for supposedly insulting President Muhammadu Buhari over his Abeokuta “It is my turn” speech.

The official who spoke on an anonymous condition told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the meeting was expected to prepare ground for successful take-off of the presidential campaign of the party.

He said that the meeting would provide an opportunity for Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, to discuss their strategies with the party’s leadership ahead of the campaign.

GWG reports that the meeting on strategy between the Senator Abdullahi Adamu led NWC and Tinubu comes against the background of alleged difficulties in relations between both men following the bad blood from before the convention.

Following the controversial “Its my turn” speech in Abeokuta where Tinubu claimed that he helped make President Muhammadu Buhari president that Adamu had pledged to sanction Tinubu for insulting the president.

Adamu was in early June quoted as saying that Tinubu would be sanctioned for that speech.

He had while dismissing the retraction offered by the Tinubu campaign over the alleged insult on Buhari as half-hearted said:

“He went as far as saying how Gen. Muhammadu Buhari went to him, citing instances of even prostrating in tears begging him to endorse him and to support him for the presidency. He claimed Buhari went to him.

“His utterances are very, very insulting. It is very, very unbecoming for a person of that standing to do what he did to the sitting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the President produced by the votes of the APC. Though he is the president, he belongs to everybody.”

“Yes, yesterday we saw some parts of a retraction but that effort is not adequate. It is not sincere. It is not in-depth enough. It doesn’t wipe off the impression that that event has left in our minds”.
